Spectrum's mission statement: Spectrum LGBTQ+ & Ally Employee Resource Group aims to create an open and safe space for LGBTQ+ staff to meet, share fellowship, and join in the work to create an inclusive culture of acceptance, dignity, and respect for all LGBTQ+ persons at Notre Dame. It serves as a resource for LGBTQ+ identified employees to express themselves and access the various resources available to them through the University and Human Resources. Additionally, our mission is to ensure the safety, well-being, equal and fair treatment, and access to opportunity that every other person at Notre Dame receives, so that we may do our best work in service of the University's mission
