What is the Gender Relations Center?
As an office in Student Affairs, the Gender Relations Center (GRC) designs and implements programs about healthy relationships, gender and sexuality consistent with the Catholic character of the University. It creates dialogue on campus by collaborating with student clubs, other departments at Notre Dame and community organizations in South Bend. It is the first and only office of its kind within collegiate student affairs nationwide.
