After serving off and on for more than seven years within the Northern Colorado Department of Athletics, Julie Hill was appointed the University's Director of the Blue & Gold Club in December 2012. 

In this role she primarily is in charge of the organization and execution of Department of Athletics annual events and administration of the University's annual athletics fund (Blue & Gold).

Hill graduated from Colorado State University in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sports Science. She then earned a master's degree in sports administration from Northern Colorado in 1999 while serving as a graduate assistant in the Bears' athletics compliance office.

Over the next five years Hill served as the Bears' Senior Woman Administrator (SWA) and Assistant Athletic Director of Compliance and later Assistant Athletic Director for Development before pursuing opportunities outside the department until 2010. 

She then returned to Northern Colorado on a part-time basis in January 2011, serving as Director of Special Events for Athletics until her promotion in late 2012.

As the Director of Special Events, Hill was responsible for organizing and administering annual student-athlete scholarship fundraising events, including the Bears' Blue & Gold Golf Tournament, their Fall Kickoff, the Blue & Gold Reverse Raffle and Auction, Athletics Hall of Fame ceremony and the Northern Colorado Women's Walk. 

She also recruited, coordinated and fostered volunteer participation for special event committees and solicited and secured sponsorship support for athletics special events.
