In partnership with the Division of Public Safety & Security, the Office of Field Instruction is sponsoring an introductory lecture to personal safety and self defense. Our presenters from DPSS will be Candace Dorsey, Empowerment Self Defense Manager, and Sergeant Gary Hicks.
Description: "Our self-defense workshop takes a holistic approach to self-protection, emphasizing awareness and assertiveness skills as well as physical and verbal strategies to counter violence. The goal is to leave you better equipped to deal with everything from harassment to potentially violent people to sexual assault."
Information will be presented in a lecture format, and further resources will be given for students who wish to follow up with a self defense course through DPSS.
Food will be provided! Students may arrive between 5:00 and 5:30 for food; the lecture will begin at 5:30.
