The Office of Campus Security will be hosting a R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) Class for Women this February. The class will meet on Sundays: Feb. 1, 8 and 15 from 2-5 p.m. in the Belmont Commons Clubhouse.

The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. Our courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors and provide each student with a workbook/reference manual.
