The project will enhance and continue a self defense course offered for points toward Physical Education GIR. New equipment and refined pedagogy is available that requires re-‐certification. With statistics being 25 percent of women in this age range being assaulted the benefits of such training can't be underestimated. This unually small grant request will support an invaluable experiential education course that complements MIT efforts of DSL’s Sexual Assault Awareness program and other efforts by the Violence Prevention and Resource at Community Wellness of MIT Medical to combat the 30-‐60 reported sexual assualts to our students annually. This grant would go towards enhancing the self-‐defense curriculum and maintaining the cour for MIT students.
