Edna Earle and Ed Bagian

Edna Earle and Ed Bagian were loyal supporters of WKU. The couple made many contributions to the University. After graduation in 1938, Edna became an English teacher in Louisville, Kentucky. She retired from Barret Middle School in 1974 after working in the Louisville school system for 36 years.

To further give back to WKU, they established the Edna Earle and Ed Bagian Student Aid Fund in 1981. The fund serves to offer lasting assistance to deserving WKU students. Through this fund, Edna and Ed’s generous legacy continues in perpetuity.
