Senate: Community Relations

The Community Relations Committee acts as a liaison between the South Bend Community and the Notre Dame student body with the goal of building a positive, lasting relationship with members of the community and ensuring that the student body plays an active role in community life. In the past, the committee has prepared an Off-Campus Transition Seminar, organized a Community Summit with area university and community leaders, and worked to establish Domer Dollar use off campus. Among other initiatives, the Community Relations Committee will continue working to improve off-campus student safety, organize a campus-wide community service day called CommUniversity, and establish a Student Discount Program at frequented restaurants and retailers off campus. In the past, Community Relations has also hosted Taste of South Bend, an on-campus sampling of local restaurants.
