The Family Resource Center at Beichner Hall is a welcoming drop-in space for married, parenting, and/or pregnant students and their families to engage and connect. The facility is important not only for community building among students and their families, but also for pregnant students who may be in need of someone to walk with them no matter their academic progress at the University. In addition, the Family Resource Center provides services, education, and resources to Notre Dame students and their dependent(s). When Beichner Hall isn't being used for programming, there is a gathering area, meeting room, lounge, outdoor lawn space, and playroom available for use. The playroom may be reserved by families here. Regardless of where you live in town or your academic year and field of study, you are welcome here.
Inclusive Campus Student Survey Results
In Fr. Jenkins’ recent letter to the campus community, he encouraged students, faculty, and staff to be a force for positive change in our nation. Part of that change must begin here. Early last Spring, all enrolled students were invited to participate in the second administration of the Inclusive Campus Student Survey to better understand our campus climate, especially as it relates to sense of belonging and adverse treatment. Since the administration of the survey in February 2020, our world has shifted and our country has been shaken by both the coronavirus pandemic and racial injustices. Nonetheless, it is important to share the survey results to offer an understanding of the strengths of our community, and importantly, the areas in which our campus climate needs continued and ongoing work.
