UMW’s Police Department is offering to faculty and staff women an additional R.A.D. Basic Physical Defense Program class in a format of three consecutive nights – August 6, 7, and 8 from 6-9 p.m. each of those nights.

R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) for Women is founded on four basic principles:  risk awareness, risk reduction, risk recognition and risk avoidance. These principles are the basis for 90 percent of self-defense education.  R.A.D. for Women is a female-only class.

The R.A.D. Basic Physical Defense Program is a self-defense class designed for women of all ages and taught by men and women to teach methods to defend against potential attacks as well as to educate women about risk awareness, risk reduction, risk recognition, and risk avoidance.  The R.A.D. Systems Basic Physical Defense instructional objective is “to develop and enhance the options of self-defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked.”

R.A.D. Basic is a three-day course (3 hours per day) offered to female faculty/staff/students of the UMW community FREE of charge. This class will be taught by Sgt. Bobby Somers, who is a certified R.A.D. Instructor and Advanced R.A.D. Systems Instructor. Sgt. Somers serves as a Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics Instructor and U.S. Army Special Operations Self Defense and Survival Specialist.  Sgt. Somers is currently a Patrol Sergeant and Field Training Officer with the UMW Police Department.  Sgt. Somers will be assisted by Dr. Nicole Surething, who is the Director of Counseling and Psychological Services and also a Certified R.A.D. Basic Instructor.

The class dates are August 6 through 8 from 6 p.m. through 9 p.m.

If you’re interested in taking this self-defense course, please contact Sgt. Bobby Somers by email at wsomers@umw.edu to register.  Spaces are limited.

Throughout the summer, Campus Recreation will offer three yoga classes per week in the Goolrick Hall dance studios.

Beginning Yoga — Mondays from 5:15 to 6:45 p.m.
Yoga for participants with minimal yoga experience. This class focuses on learning the positions, breathing and stretching.

Advanced Yoga — Wednesdays from 5:15 to 6:45 p.m.
This class is designed for participants that have been practicing yoga for awhile. The class is challenging and fun.

TGIF Yoga — Fridays from 5:15 to 6:45 p.m.
This class is for everyone and is designed to help you get over the stress of the week and head into the weekend without the week’s burdens on your shoulders. The class focus is stress reduction, relaxation and feeling good about yourself.

For more information, contact Campus Recreation at (540) 654-1098.

Dear UMW Community:

It is with regret that I inform you of the Virginia Credit Union’s decision to remove the ATM in the Woodard Campus Center. The primary reason is the steady decline in the number of transactions over the past few years. That decline in conjunction with recent regulations which would require a complete retrofit of the machine, made the operation too unprofitable.

This summer, we will gauge the interest of other financial institutions in placing an ATM on campus as well as explore the option of partnering with a nearby business in placing an ATM nearby. I will keep you posted.
