Kimberly Love

Kim Love is an educator and mentor who is passionate about service and experiential learning. She spent over 20 years in the non-profit sector, mentoring youth through athletics, music, and international service-learning. In 2015, Kim ventured into the higher education realm as a program administrator in the Division of Online and Continuing Education at the Weber State Community Education Center (CEC). At the CEC she collaborated with industry and community partners to provide educational resources to underserved populations in our community.

In 2018 Kim transitioned to the collaborative work of professional development training for K-12 educators. During this time she also developed the Workforce Ready program to help individuals with large gaps in their work history transition back into the workforce or discover a pathway to higher education. Running this program reignited Kim’s passion for mentoring and helping students discover their inner strength to tackle challenges on their educational journeys. Today, Kim serves as the Director of Distance Education in the Division of Online and Continuing Education and as an adjunct faculty member for the Sociology department.

Kim also serves as a volunteer on several committees for organizations that support women in higher education and workforce development. She holds a BA in German and BS in Sociology from the University of Utah, a Masters of Community Leadership from Westminster College, and she is a doctoral student in Organizational Leadership at Pepperdine’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology with plans to defend her dissertation in November! In her not so spare time, she enjoys cycling and traveling the world with her husband. She is the mother of four amazing children and a grandmother to six beautiful grandchildren.
