Once Ms. Reynolds completed her portion of the seminar, the sisters of Alpha Xi Delta invited Robert Kolb to the stage to present his demonstration to students. He showed the students a variety of ways to get away from an attacker. That included kicking the attacker in the legs and punching the assaulter in the nose. He also stated that it takes 14 pounds of pressure to do serious damage to someone’s throat, making this maneuver the best to use in this situation. Some other maneuvers that were shown during the seminar were to flip the attacker over your leg if you can get behind him or her. Or to cup your hand like the shape of an ear and pinch any body part you can grab.
The final part of Take Back the Weekend was a safety walk with John Wroton. E encouraged students to break into five groups then they were split into locations on campus that would be investigated. Students were to look for poor lighting, cracks in the pavement or just dangerous environments in general. Students spoke to us about their feelings and findings.”

The sisters of Alpha Xi Delta would like to give a special thank you to everyone that made this event possible. The two hour seminar gave students confidence to walk on campus at night, and gave them the confidence to deal with attackers. A source says that the event was a success and that sisters are planning on making this an annual event
