Bubbly. Energetic. Positive. Visionary. Kim Ahlgrim is a dynamo.
As director of The Cove, the University鈥檚 academic enrichment center, she and her staff have created an environment where students can be themselves and share the challenges they are facing academically, personally, and spiritually.
Kim was named Member of the Year by the National Tutoring Association for her leadership of The Cove, and in 2011, she was Cedarville鈥檚 Staff Member of the Year.
Kim鈥檚 kind and welcoming personality quickly puts students, and anyone else she encounters, at ease. And since The Cove was established, countless current students and alumni can attest to how she and her team鈥檚 support, guidance, and encouragement
helped them succeed and thrive.
That grace and kindness is reflected in the naming of The Cove itself.
鈥淵ou know that feeling when you鈥檙e walking on a beach on vacation, and you can completely be yourself?鈥 Kim shares during the podcast. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 how we want people to feel when they come into The Cove. They can be authentic; they can talk to us about anything that鈥檚 going on, from their academics to their relationship with God.鈥
