Kim Leibold

Hi there! My name is Kim Leibold, and I am an Academic Advisor at the University Advising Center here at KU. I am originally from Des Moines, Iowa. I completed both my Bachelors degree in Health and Human Performance and my Masters degree in Higher Education at Iowa State University in Ames. (Go Cyclones!) I have been involved in Student Affairs since I was an undergrad, working in Recreation, Student Health, Study Abroad, and Athletics through the years. Outside of work I enjoy concerts, sporting events, and movies. I also love horseback riding, the outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.

I'm here as a guide to help you find your way onto a successful academic path. This involves helping you decide a major, navigate course requirements, and develop successful academic skills, but it also involves helping you with other aspects of university life. I can help you find great ways to get involved, help you figure out solutions to problems you may be encountering, and just be here as someone to listen. College can be a confusing, frustrating, and completely wonderful time in your life. I am here to provide support as you navigate your way through! The best way to be successful academically is to live a full and healthy lifestyle! Come see me- I look forward to meeting with you!

You can contact me at kleibold@ku.edu, or make an appointment by calling 864-0176.
