Creating a Space to Receive Grace
\n<\/strong>
\nBubbly. Energetic. Positive. Visionary. Kim Ahlgrim is a dynamo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
As director of The Cove, the University\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Kim was named Member of the Year by the National Tutoring Association for her leadership of The Cove, and in 2011, she was Cedarville\u2019s Staff Member of the Year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Kim\u2019s 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\u2019s support, guidance, and encouragement helped them succeed and thrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
That grace and kindness is reflected in the naming of The Cove itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cYou know that feeling when you\u2019re walking on a beach on vacation, and you can completely be yourself?\u201d Kim shares during the podcast. \u201cThat\u2019s how we want people to feel when they come into The Cove. They can be authentic; they can talk to us about anything that\u2019s going on, from their academics to their relationship with God.\u201d<\/div>\n
