Self-Defense Program

UMPD officers with various disciplines in self-defense have come together to create a basic program for all levels of experience.  The program focuses on different styles of self-defense techniques allowing participants to learn skills that can assist them if found in a precarious situation.  No equipment is needed, the classes will be offered in an ‘ala carte’ format, and we encourage interested students to register early as space is very limited in this dynamic program.  Any student or employee of the University is eligible to participate; there is no fee for this program. For more information, please contact Officer Liana Varosky at @email.
