WCU Live is featuring comedian Trey Kennedy during Homecoming and Family Weekend! Make sure you purchase your tickets so as not to miss out on all the laughs!!

Trey Kennedy is a born and raised Oklahoman who never expected to enter the entertainment industry. While attending college at Oklahoma State University, Trey found fame on the mobile app Vine, amassing more than 2.5 million followers. He was a top creator on the app for more than three years and, through this experience, discovered a passion for entertainment. Trey has now continued his social media success on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok where he has a combined 12+ million followers. He currently has a podcast titled "Correct Opinions" and just concluded a sold-out comedy tour selling out cities across the United States. Trey's self-produced comedy special "Are You For Real?" can now be streamed on YouTube. He hopes to continue creating fun and relatable content in order to deliver some joy where it's needed and help people find some common ground through comedy.

Starting at the preserved Old Main archway on High Street--the symbolic beginning of the university--tourgoers will be treated to a one-hour overview of the evolution of the campus. The tour will emphasize how the physical campus reflects the broadening of the school's educational mission as well as wider social changes. The walking tour will take place around the historic quadrangle, a focus we will enhance by considering expansion to surrounding blocks. Alumni are encouraged to share their own memories and stories as we stroll through campus history.
