Testimonials

It has been my privilege to know and engage with Tim Fuller for over 30 years in the grand work of Christian higher education and specifically the intense challenges of enrollment leadership. Simply put, he gets it.  There are very few leaders in the arena of Christian higher ed that have studied the art and science of enrollment management, analyzed more enrollment data, and strategically helped as many institutions as Tim.  Helping institutions flourish is his passion. Solving problems is his ace. Empowering others to succeed is his spirit. He is a friend of those in the enrollment trenches or executive hot seat trying to chart a course forward through unprecedented times. I commend Tim for your thoughtful consideration if you need wise counsel to help your institution grow.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Tim for almost forty years and have relied on his wisdom and expertise countless times.  I doubt there is anyone who knows Christian higher education better than Tim, and he brings that vast reservoir of experience to every engagement.  He is focused on mission, informed by data, and driven to seek excellence – yet at the same time is highly relational, genuinely humble and relentlessly funny.  Tim will help you ask better questions, find better answers, be a better leader, and build a better college.”     

Oklahoma Wesleyan University (OKWU) has benefitted tremendously by having Tim Fuller work with us on strategic advising centered in our admissions journey as well as on the onboarding processes of our students. What I love about Tim is that he has the personal gifts and graces that consistently demonstrate outstanding interpersonal skills with whomever he is training. He knows what he’s doing because he’s actually practiced what he preaches. Most of all, he deals hope for better ways of helping a university thrive well into the future. The return on investment that OKWU received from Tim is worth every precious penny we spent! It is already paying off significant dividends. I am convinced that you and your university will benefit greatly from working with Tim Fuller.  

Tim Fuller's StrengthFinders profile nails it: Context, Responsibility, Strategic, Empathy, Developer. As a higher education association executive, I have had the frequent privilege of engaging with and observing Tim for more than a decade and every single one of those words rings true. Whether in a large group presentation, a team huddle, or a one-on-one encounter, Tim consistently delivers empathetic, mission-clarifying people and institutional development through a rare combination of laser-sharp data analysis that moves from zoom to wide angle, strategic to specific, principled to practical. Those who engage with him invariably find themselves more personally enriched and missionally effective.  

Having known Tim now for several decades and having been helped many times over by his counsel and insight, I simply borrow the words of Italian scholar Niccolo Segundino when describing Thomas More. Mr. More was Lord Chancellor under King Henry VIII.  “I often relax in his delightful company as one might lodge in some beautiful place.  I never see him without his sending me away better informed and more attached to him.  You could not imagine, I assure you, a more agreeable, charming, and amusing man.  His wonderful elegance as a writer, his choice of words and well-rounded sentences are universally admired but no more so than his keen mind, set off by fairness, humor, wit and courtesy.” When you put these words in the context of providing strategic guidance to our colleges, I firmly believe Tim is the best in the field.
