Dr. Tim Merrill enters his first year at Reynolds Community
College as the Associate Vice President for Strategic Planning and
Institutional Effectiveness. Prior to coming to Reynolds, Tim spent five
years as the Director of Institutional Research at Randolph-Macon College and
four years as an Interim Program Officer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
When asked why would anyone leave Hawaii Tim responded, “Closer
proximity to family, more affordable costs of living, and there are only so
many rainbows and waterfalls one can appreciate before they become boring -
just kidding about the last one, it was a beautiful place to call home for
several years.”
Tim’s career has given him the opportunity to work for
numerous universities of different sizes, both public and private. He has
a B.A. in Organizational Communication from Miami University, a M.A. in Higher Education Administration from
George Washington University and a Ph.D. in Higher Education from the University of Virginia.
“(I want) to grow professionally and personally and to learn
from a team of skilled and knowledgeable professionals who give back to this
community, “Tim explained on what he is looking forward to while working at
Reynolds.
When not working, Tim enjoys spending time with his wife
Kelly and their daughter Carter, age seven and son Timmy, age six. Tim
also enjoys playing pickup basketball, coaching youth soccer and staying up-to-date
on movies and historical biographies.
Tim, welcome to Reynolds!!
