R.A.D. Women's Self Defense Workshop

The Department of Public Safety is again pleased to offer R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) Training to the women of the University community. R.A.D. is the largest women’s self-defense training network in the United States and Canada, and is the only self-defense program endorsed by the IACLEA (International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators). This is a 12-hour “hands-on” course which meets or exceeds all National Coalition Against Sexual Assault guidelines. Its objective is to “develop and enhance the options of self-defense so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked.”

Dates of instruction are October 12 and 13 starting at 10 am until 1 pm (Light Breakfast and Beverage available) in the Barone Campus Center’s Dogwood Room.  Review and Simulation night will start at 7:00 p.m. on October 14 in the Dogwood room.  In order to complete the program participants must attend all three sessions with participation in simulation being optional. Seats are limited; you can reserve your space by contacting Officer Charles Goodwin at cgoodwin@fairfield.edu.  This course is being offered at no charge.
