Watch out boys, Women are Fighting Back!

Every fall and spring semester Albright College offers the RAD (Rape Aggression Defense) classes. Over the past nine years, this self defense class has been taught to over 600 women in the Albright Community . Each class consists of risk awareness, risk reduction, and risk avoidance. Physical moves are also taught during the classes. At the end of the RAD program the women have the opportunity to try out what they learned during an attack simulation. I interviewed Officer Robert Gerken, Director of Public Safety and one of the RAD instructors, Lauren Cooley, the Special Events Coordinator, Megan McGrath, Director of Alumni Relations and Rachel Caminsky, an Albright Senior for their opinions on the RAD program.

For more information about the RAD classes e-mail Officer Gerken at rgerken@alb.edu
