Swine Flu Preparedness Update
Like many colleges and universities across the country, Rider has been experiencing flu-like illness among students, faculty and staff. The good news is that the numbers are still relatively small. As of the start of the spring semester, we know of 5 students across both campuses and no faculty and staff who have reported flu-like illness. That brings the total of reported flu-like illness since the start of the 2009-2010 academic year to 182 students and 41 faculty and staff. Three students were diagnosed with H1N1 (swine flu) during the fall semester; none have been diagnosed this spring semester. Procedures for dealing with these cases have proceeded as planned.

Bakari Sellers Address on Feb. 1 Kicks off Black History Month
 For all his relative youth, Bakari T. Sellers sees a longer linear perspective on the current stage of race relations in the United States.
