Julie Hermann (left) has an anxious moment during the University of Louisville women’s basketball team’s come-from-behind 52-48 win over Villanova at the KFC Yum! Center Saturday. U of L is currently tied with Rutgers for third place in the Big East with 6-2 conference mark, and is 17-4 overall.
She’s everywhere it seems on the University of Louisville campus, overseeing 20 women’s sports programs and the Olga Peers Athletic Unit. She’s also involved as a board member with numerous community organizations.
She is Tom Jurich’s right-hand person, deeply emeshed in the development of the overall athletic program, including cultivation for financial support. That would also include, we presume, involvment in any future conference considerations.
She is Julie Hermann, executive senior associate athletic director.
Hermann has held the position for the past 15 years, arriving in Louisville in 1997, arriving from the University of Tennessee where she was volleyball coach for six seasons. She spent one year as an assistant coach for USA Volleyball, helping the National Team to a silver medal finish at the World University Games.
An All-Big Eight volleyball player at the University of Nebraska from 1981-84, her team won four conference championships, four tournament championships, and competed in four consecutive NCAA tournaments.
Fun to watch at U of L athletic events. She enjoys her job.
