Personal Safety & Self-Defense Survey
BACKGROUND:
- Hello! My name is John Kotarski and I am a rising sophomore at the University of Michigan studying Computer Engineering.

- After hearing stories of people in my life being put in situations in which they feel powerless (including but not limited to countless stories of harassment and sexual assault), I became passionate about helping my peers feel safe both on campus and beyond, as I know that the stories I've heard were the few that people felt comfortable sharing.

- It would mean a lot if you would take the time to answer the questions below in order to help me help as many people as possible. Thank you!
