Registration is now open for the spring 2026 Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) training, which will take place at the Universality of Iowa over the course of three days in April. The course is open to all women whether or not they have an affiliation with the UI.

The RAD approach to personal safety education blends threat avoidance strategies and real-world assault resistance. The program is designed for the average person with no previous experience or background in physical skills training, and those who participate in the course will have an opportunity to practice their skills during the last session.

The course is 12 hours and taught over three days. Those who register must commit to attending all three sessions.

Sessions are April 13th, 20th, and 27th from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the University Capitol Center on South Capitol Street. For more details, click here.
