Successful Transition to Post High School Life with Kim Ahlgrim

Young adults often stumble into the post high school season of their lives, and let’s be honest–parents are often stumbling into this season too! My guest Kim Ahlgrim is here to share some of the specific challenges she sees young adults face as the Director of The Cove, the Academic Enrichment Center at Cedarville University, and how we as parents can help set them up for success. If you have a young adult heading off to college or moving into the next season, this podcast is for you!

Thank you to Cedarville University for sponsoring our show today. Accept the challenge of living boldly and learning purposely! Cedarville.edu

Kim grew up in Southwest Florida near the ocean. She spent many weekends at the beach with her family or with friends. They would ride bikes across Sanibel Island and eat lunch at the shore. They would have bonfires on the beach and watch the sunset. Her favorite moments? Taking long walks on the beach, especially with her dad. Engaging in meaningful discussions about life, relationships, and spiritual matters was common for them. Kim established Seaside Higher Education Consulting to develop similar meaningful conversations but with an emphasis on higher education and university students.

Kim is an Academic Director with extensive experience in the higher education field. She has successfully developed and implemented various academic programs throughout her career, including The Cove at Cedarville University, an Academic Enrichment Center. Her expertise is creating and implementing academic success, spearheading program development initiatives and the development of a disability services department. She has actively contributed as a committee member on the HLC Self Study Teaching and Learning chapter. In addition to her academic background, she has a vital skill set in nonprofit organizations, teamwork, and public speaking as a senior trainer and consultant.
