I believe that Brian Fuller has proven to be a model of excellence in his classroom teaching, direction of theater events, and in all of his interactions with students.  I also believe that he understands the college mission and appropriately integrates his faith and

Christian principles into his course material.

Mentoring students -- both in his academic subject area and in daily Christian living -- is one of Mr. Fuller's priorities and many strengths.  His sincere love and respect for them, and his willingness to share so much personal time with them is a known fact among the student body, and is greatly appreciated by them.  He and his wife regularly and frequently invite students for meals, as well as host students who need housing during college breaks and other times.

We have had numerous music majors/minors who have also been heavily involved in the theatre department during the last few years.  Thus, I have heard students talk about Mr. Fuller on countless occasions, but never once with any complaint or negative comment whatsoever.  Also to his credit, they attest to the high quality of his teaching and to the challenge that his courses present to them.  Students are often willing to add extra credit hours and take heavy course loads in order to include one of his courses or participate in a theater production.

Mr. Fuller also sets a fine example of professional collegiality to the rest of the faculty.  He has voluntarily helped me with some substantial professional projects, and I have heard other faculty testify likewise.  He values the friendship of his faculty colleagues, and makes special efforts to collaborate with those in other disciplines when possible.

Parents of prospective Montreat students expect that their children will receive more individual attention and true Christian concern from faculty at a college like ours than they would at a less expensive state university.  This is an advantage that our college advertises and which does indeed set us apart.  I believe that Mr. Fuller represents one of the best examples of this ideal here at Montreat, and is therefore an extremely valuable asset to our college.
