WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue vice president and athletics director Mike Bobinski, in partnership with vice president for development Amy Noah, announced the hiring of Tim House as associate athletics director and senior director of development Friday.
House, who will start Sept. 7, will provide oversight of the John Purdue Club annual fund and premium seating efforts. In addition, he will maintain a portfolio of donors and prospects with both an annual fund and major gift focus.
"Tim is an extremely likeable, hardworking guy who will be a great addition to our JPC team," executive senior associate athletics director/assistant vice president for development Lee De Leon said. "He has a proven track record of success at multiple Division I schools, and we expect Tim to be a catalyst in moving our fundraising efforts to new heights."
House comes to the Boilermakers from Army West Point Athletics, where he spent five of the past seven years (2012-14 and 2015-18). During that time, he was a part of the Army A Club staff and ultimately oversaw a unit that grew from $2.7 million in unrestricted annual fund dollars upon his arrival to over $7.4 million. In his most recent role as associate athletics director for development, House managed a portfolio of donors and prospects with both a high-level annual fund and major gift focus, while also overseeing the Army A Club staff.
"My family and I could not be more excited to join the Purdue University community," House said. "Specifically, I am honored to work with the John Purdue Club staff to further generate support for our outstanding student-athletes. I would like to thank everyone with the Purdue Research Foundation and Purdue Athletics who afforded me this opportunity. I look forward to engaging with Boilermakers across the country as we continue the tradition of excellence at Purdue."
In between stints at Army West Point, House served as major gifts officer for the University of Pennsylvania Department of Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics. Among his accomplishments were securing an endowment for the wrestling head coaching position.
House's other experience includes stints in athletics development, marketing and sales with Duke University, Belmont University and Vanderbilt University.
A native of Raleigh, North Carolina, House earned a bachelor's degree in sport management from North Carolina State University in 2008 and a master's degree in sport administration from Belmont in 2010. He and his wife, Jen, have two daughters, Emerson and Leah.
