Summer heat wonβt stop us. Weβre just getting started.

As part of GWU Sexual Assault Awareness Month, our club partnered with members of Students Against Sexual Assault to provide self-defense, awareness, and simple ways to protect yourself. It was a great experience to build confidence and share practical skills and learning from each other.
