Above, a recent RAD participant took down an officer, who dressed in protective padding and posed as an assailant.
Female students, faculty, and staff at HSPH are invited to participate in the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Program, which is led by Harvard University Police Department officers. The program teaches techniques on combating various types of assaults by providing realistic self-defense tactics based on four basic principles: education, dependency on self, making one's own decisions, and realization of one's own power.
The next RAD Program will be held at Vanderbilt Hall on
- January 21 (3:30 - 6:30 PM),
- January 23 (6:30 - 9:30 PM),
- January 28 (3:30 - 6:30 PM), and
- January 30 (6:30 - 9:30 PM)
See the RAD homepage for
more information and to sign up.
