During the first summer session, Colby Community College will offer Situational Awareness (PE195-102), a one-credit-hour online course from June 2 through June 26.

Situational Awareness fulfills a physical education degree requirement. It is designed to help students understand their surroundings and improve personal safety through practical strategies and observation techniques.

The course is taught by Barry Kaaz, who emphasizes real-world application.

“It's about protecting ourselves and those we care about,” Kaaz said. “We will learn how to engage our environment by understanding the threat, studying people, and developing skill sets that will sharpen our senses to understand and avoid or escape violent attacks.”

Current students can enroll through TrojanWeb. New students should contact the Registrar’s Office at (785) 460-5509 or registrar@colbycc.edu. For more information, contact Kaaz at barry.kaaz@colbycc.edu or (785) 443-0411.
