The Rape Aggression Defense program, or RAD, has classes available to female UHCL students, faculty and staff March 15-18 and April 12-15, 6-9:30 p.m. RAD is a nationwide program that was developed to teach women to defend themselves from an attacker. This free class, which is held monthly, teaches women all the basics from protecting themselves from an attacker to home security.
“When I first interviewed for the UHCL Police Department I got asked to teach a RAD class and we fell in love with the program and got great responses back,” said Corporal Kyle Pirtle.
