A basic rape aggression defense (RAD) class is being offered to female UW-Oshkosh students for one credit during the second seven weeks of the fall semester.
The class is a self-defense program that teaches a variety of techniques to use in threatening situations.
Liz Cannon, lecturer of women's studies, director of the LGBTQ Resource Center and Social Justice Director, is one of the instructors.
