New Semester

Hey WARriors!
It's a new semester, and WAR is actively recruiting for members!  Since we're trying to introduce ourselves to new students on campus (and reintroduce ourselves to veteran students!), I'll start this post by reviewing who we are and what we do.  WAR is a fairly new student organization on campus, and we fall under the umbrella of WellWVU.  We are focused on education (very HANDS ON education! :) that is geared towards women.  We work closely with WellWVU, the University Police, and in conjunction with other wellness organizations on campus to educate young women on how to avoid dangerous situations, how to remove yourself from dangerous situations, and what to do in the event that you become the victim of a sexual assault.  We provide education in a variety of ways, including Drop a Cop demonstrations, educational talks and demonstrations of self defense techniques, and through providing information about the PROTECT program run by the University Police.  We are available to do many of these events for any size group--large or small!  We have worked with small PROTECT groups and even whole sorority houses to educate and empower women to make smart decisions and keep themselves and their friends safe.  We want to reach as many women at WVU as we can, but we can't do it without your help!  We need dedicated members who can help us plan and execute programs and events throughout the semester.  Since we are still relatively unknown, we need as much publicity as possible!  Spread the word about us, and become a WARrior today!  For more information, email wvuWAR@gmail.com, check us out on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/groups/283565038117/), or follow us on Twitter (wvuWAR).  We hope to see you at our next meeting, 8/30 at 7:30pm in the Vandalia Lounge at the Mountainlair.
