Joining University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas, as vice president for enrollment management, Kim supervised admission, financial aid, and the university website. During Kim’s tenure, and using RNL modeling, search and qualification programs, Ozarks experienced significant growth in the number of applications and the completion rate. In one-year, new first year student enrollment increased by more than 30 percent. Through the successful implementation of a constituent relationship management system, the admission staff was able to manage growth without increasing staffing levels.
As a lifelong learner, Kim completed doctoral studies with a dissertation related to leadership in higher education and the successful implementation of a strategic plan to improve student persistence. Kim continues to study leadership, team building, and communication strategies, as well as trends in higher education.
