[379] Sign up now for April series of rape-defense classes at MTSU

MURFREESBORO — The MTSU Police Department is offering another free five-week series of RAD, or Rape Aggression Defense, classes beginning Thursday, April 2, for all female MTSU students, faculty and staff, along with the general public.

The Rape Aggression Defense Class is a program of realistic defense tactics and techniques. The comprehensive course for women emphasizes awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance and progresses to the basics of hands-on defense training.

Certified RAD instructors teach the free course.

Classes will be held each Thursday from April 2 to April 30 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Attendance at all five sessions is mandatory for participants to ensure they receive all necessary information and training.

Class size is limited for this new fall RAD course, so the MTSU Police Department is encouraging interested parties to enroll soon.

Participants should email their names and contact information to rad@mtsu.edu. Instructors will notify participants about their enrollment and the class location via email or phone.
