In March, nine female students at Penn State Beaver participated in 12 hours of R.A.D. System training offered by Anthony Budris, Beaver's police services supervisor. R.A.D. is the Rape Aggression Defense System that teaches women realistic self-defense tactics and techniques. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction, and risk avoidance while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. For information about the program, contact Budris at 724-773-3781 or awb126@psu.edu.
