The goal of the BUPD RAD Program is to provide easy access to education and awareness for the women of Boston University. The program trains women in basic self-defense over five weeks using effective tactics when confronted with various threats of violence.

Currently, the Rape Aggression Defense system is taught throughout the United States and Canada in university and city settings. All students receive a lifetime free 'return and practice' policy.

A new session of the BUPD RAD Program will run for five consecutive Mondays beginning Monday, Oct. 21 st from 7:00pm - 10:00pm. Open to all female faculty, staff and students for a $10 fee.
