What They're Saying About Tim House

“I’ve had the privilege of knowing Tim as both a friend and colleague for many years. He is an innovative leader, a tremendous teammate and someone who consistently makes every organization better through his vision, relentless work ethic and ability to bring people together. He has a unique way of making the work fun while driving results at the highest level. I’m thrilled for Tim, Jen and their girls as they begin this exciting new chapter, and I’m confident ODU will benefit tremendously from his leadership.”

"Tim was a valuable member of our leadership team at Purdue for more than seven years. He was instrumental in our ability to successfully navigate through the pandemic and structural changes in intercollegiate athletics during that time, as we achieved both a Final Four and a Big Ten football championship game appearance along the way. Tim's breadth of experience and his boundless energy and passion for pursuing excellence in intercollegiate athletics have prepared him for this opportunity. I'm confident that Old Dominion will benefit from his leadership in the years ahead. I'm thrilled for Tim, Jen and their girls as they join the Monarch family!"

"Tim House is a skilled and passionate leader who has a unique ability not only to connect with people, but to lead them in difficult situations. I've known him for over 20 years and had the privilege to work with him twice in his career, and I know that he is equipped for this position and will do an excellent job. I'm excited for him and the ODU community as they move forward together."

“I’m really excited for Tim and even more for Old Dominion University in selecting him as their new Director of Athletics. While he has only been at Michigan State for a short time, Tim was here during a very pivotal year in Athletics and his leadership and experience were incredibly important. We’re in a great position moving forward at Michigan State and I think Tim’s work in helping to start Spartan Ventures was a big part of it. Tim is a dynamic fundraiser and a great relationship builder, and I think he will be a tremendous success for the Monarchs.”

“Old Dominion University has made a fantastic hire in Tim House. Tim was instrumental in the advancement of our athletic department during his time at Purdue and has had fundraising success at every place he has been. As strong as a leader he is in his professional role, he is an even better person who makes a strong impression in everyone he meets. I couldn’t be happier for Tim and his family and think he will have a great career at ODU.”
