“Having great volunteers at this level is critical to our program’s success, and adding Rebecca to our staff is key,” Litzinger added. “Mentoring young coaches and giving them an opportunity to immerse themselves in our program is something that I value. Rebecca has started on this journey as a former athlete, graduate assistant and now here at Notre Dame. I am excited to work with her.”
