Sergeant Virginia Rich with the MSU Police Department instructs several campus support staff members in the art of self defense. The session was part of Tuesday's Support Staff Conference, held annually during Maymester. This year's theme, "Back to the Basics," included workshops on grammar and proofreading, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, leadership, professional attire and image, among others. Self defense classes also are offered on campus to students, faculty and staff throughout the year.
