Michael Tullier has overseen higher education strategic and development communications for more than a decade. This has included research communications for a multi-constituency research consortium, college-level alumni relations and development communications, and currently, all aspects of university-level development communications and marketing for Auburn University’s Office of Development. A Louisiana native, Michael began his nearly 20-year public relations career in the nonprofit sector after earning a bachelor’s in mass communications from LSU. He continued this work while and after earning a master’s in public administration from Auburn. After leading both state and regional public relations associations, he earned the Accredited in Public Relations, or APR, credential in 2003.
