The Gender Relations Center (GRC) promotes moral formation consistent with Catholic identity, mission and values.

As an office in Student Affairs, the 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.

I am a FIRE Starter because... I want to fight for those who have a fear to speak up.  I believe that by listening and engaging ourselves within our community we become more in tune with our culture and ourselves as individuals.  Furthermore, each individual has the ability to fight against social disparities that exist in our community.  Being a FIRE Starter means that I can challenge the conventional and let the voices of those shadowed by conventionality finally be heard.
