Senate: Gender Issues

The Gender Issues Committee focuses on improving student life with regard to gender-related issues. By promoting awareness on concerns from sexual abuse to eating disorders, its mission is to create a more informed student body and improve relations not only between males and females, but relations within the same sex. In the past, the committee has planned Sexual Assault Awareness week and organized a Health and Body Image Conference to promote and expose students to academic discourse on these topics. Reviewing and proposing revisions to Notre Dame's current rape and sexual assault policy and exploring resources and needs of Notre Dame's LGBQ members is this committee's top priorities this term.

Chairpersons: Patrick Tighe (ptighe@nd.edu) and Robyn Grant (rgrant3@nd.edu)
