Student Involvement
Senior Fellows bridge the gap between the residence halls and the Gender Relations Center through educational and social initiatives sponsored by the GRC and directed at the residence halls.

The Gender Relations Center (GRC) designs and implements programs about healthy relationships, gender, and sexuality consistent with the Catholic character of the University. The GRC Senior Fellows program is an opportunity for senior student leaders to engage the campus in respectful dialogue while helping to build a community that fully honors the human dignity of each person. GRC Senior Fellows will be paired with a Program Assistant to co-lead a group of student volunteers (called Firestarters) and create educational events related to our topic areas of healthy relationships, LGBTQ student initiatives, and gender equity and intersectionality.

  • Represent the mission, vision, and values of the GRC as a student employee
  • Function as a student leader in the GRC
  • Execute the duties and responsibilities as outlined in part below

  • Fellows must be available Monday nights from 8-10 pm for Firestarter meetings and may be asked to move in early and participate in Welcome Weekend activities.
