About
Hillary Bird is an assistant director of storytelling and content strategy, developing creative narratives about UIC, its campus, students, faculty, staff and alums.
Hillary joined UIC in 2024. Her career started with two decades in local journalism before making the move to support marketing departments at major corporations and nonprofits. She helped establish brand communications and set standards for high-impact content. She has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Michigan State University, and during each of her graduation years, the Spartans reached the Final Four in men’s basketball.
Fun fact: Hillary is the co-commissioner of a fantasy baseball league in which she has finished fifth twice.
