Patti Phillips talks with Jill Bodensteiner, the senior
associate athletics director at the University of Notre Dame…Go
Irish!
Like many of you, Jill’s journey in athletics was not necessarily a
straight one. She jokes that at the age of six she had both a legal
bug and a basketball bug—but despite playing some hoops in high
school, the legal route eventually won out. She headed to South
Bend to complete her undergrad degree, then received her JD at to
Washington University in St. Louis, which kicked off a career in
employment law. It was after “one of those lunches that changes
your career,” Jill says, that she was offered a position at her
alma mater, and back to South Bend she went, and has stayed for the
past 20 years.
Jill shares how working with wonderful mentors paved her career
path. Her insights on remaining rooted in values, serving others,
and being authentically you are inspiring—and we know you’ll be
wowed by her determination and incredible ability to invest in
people and give back.
