Submitted by Academic Achievement Center
The Academic Achievement Center announces Sabrina Veith as the Spring 2024 Kim Dierks Tutor of Distinction scholarship recipient.
Veith, senior in biology, started as a peer tutor for the Academic Achievement Center in spring 2023. Since then, Sabrina has tutored many K-State students in biology as both a drop-in and appointment tutor.
"My favorite part of tutoring is getting to make connections with students whose shoes I have been in," said Sabrina. "I love getting to share different methods of learning, context for what they're learning, and why it will be important in their future."
Kim Dierks, previous managing director of Tutoring Services, was an integral part of the Academic Achievement Center for more than 14 years.

Dierks continues to demonstrate her commitment to student success by honoring the work of student tutors through the generous gift made to fund the Kimberly Dierks Scholarship for Tutors of Distinction.
