Student Development Staff

" I love to counsel these bright, hardworking, energetic, and talented students, who, with  a modicum of guidance and support, construct creative solutions to break stifling  vicious cycles into self-actualizing virtuous cycles, that reclaim their future, and stay  their path to autonomy, intimacy and interdependence.  As well, I enjoy the fellowship of a faculty and staff who continue to amaze me with their persistent willingness to go the extra mile to make "K" more "user-friendly" for students with learning differences."

Alan Hill, who holds BA and MS degrees from Southern Connecticut University, an MA from Western Michigan University and a PhD in clinical psychology from Miami University of Ohio, began his work as a half-time psychologist at Kalamazoo College in 1992.  Dr. Hill also works at Gateway Services and, until recently, taught psychology at Kalamazoo Valley Community College.  He completed an APA-approved internship at Counseling and Psychological Services of Indiana University.  He fancies himself as a generalist, but does specialize in psychological assessment, substance abuse, anger problems and learning disabilities.  Outside of his work, Dr. Hill enjoys playing all sports and coaching a few, playing with his wife and two children, or playing with his integrative theory of psychotherapy.
