Assistant Director of Student Success for the Klein College of Media and Communication, Tyler DeVice, shares “Kimberly is finishing her undergraduate career in May, but we are thrilled that she is remaining at Temple to begin her +1-graduate year of her 4+1 program in Higher Education. I am very hopeful that we’ll have a spot on our Student Success team when Kimberly does finish her Master’s degree next year, but we know that, regardless of where she ends up, Kimberly will change the world for the better. She has already achieved this in her years at Klein, and Kimberly’s presence and impact is one that I will remember and cherish for years to come. It’s not often that, in my first few years running a brand-new program, do I come across a scholar and student leader with the alacrity that Kimberly possesses”.
