The department of Special Event Facilities at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) is thrilled to announce that Kristina Hill has been appointed Executive Director of College Park Center and Texas Hall, leading two of the University’s most prominent venues for athletics, performances, and special events.
Hill has served as the Director of Event Operations since 2023, leading both the Event Services and Production Services teams. During this time, she led bookings for both venues and built strong partnerships with our campus partners, external clients, and our city and regional stakeholders. She took over as interim-General Manager in the fall of 2025, and led the team through an exceptionally busy season, providing steady leadership and an unwavering commitment to our clients.
“I’m thrilled to have Kristina leading our amazing team,” said Chris Fulton, Assistant Vice President of Auxiliary Enterprises at UTA. “She is an exceptional venue management leader who brings both high standards and a people-first approach to everything she does. Kristina leads with heart, she looks for excellence in every detail, and she has a proven ability to build relationships that elevate the experience for our campus, our community, and every guest who walks through our doors. Just as important, she understands the incredible talent and dedication of this team, and I know she will continue to champion them as we build on the outstanding work already happening at CPC and Texas Hall.”
Before joining UTA, Hill brought more than a decade of experience in event coordination and hospitality, including roles with Harmony Wedding Chapel, Arlington-based iEntertainment, and the Hurst Conference Center, where she managed over 2,500 events, ranging from weddings to graduations, galas and more.
“It has truly been so rewarding to lead this team over the past few months,” said Hill. “I love what I do, and working alongside colleagues who are equally passionate makes the work incredibly meaningful. I’m honored to step into this role permanently and excited to see where we will go in the years ahead.”
Hill earned a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management from the University of North Texas in 2012. A self-proclaimed college sports enthusiast with a passion for hospitality, she is excited to lead the continued success and growth of College Park Center and Texas Hall.
