Swine Flu Preparedness Update
Like many colleges and universities across the country, Rider has been experiencing flu-like illness among students, faculty and staff since earlier this semester. The good news is that the numbers are still relatively small. As of November 9, we know of 120 students and 33 faculty and staff across both campuses who have reported flu-like illness since the start of the fall semester. Most have since recovered. Three students have been diagnosed with H1N1 (swine flu). Procedures for dealing with these cases have proceeded as planned.
Ben Dworkin Analyzes the Recent Gubernatorial Race
 Ben Dworkin, director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University, shares his analysis of Election Day and its consequences for New Jersey in an informative Q&A.

Thanksgiving Basket Drive Just One of Keenan’s Key Campus Projects
 Right from the start of his time at Rider, David Keenan, director of Campus Life, enjoyed working in such an exciting atmosphere. “I could see the development of the students, and that’s when I really got into it,” he said. Keenan finds his work around this time of year especially gratifying, as he has the opportunity to coordinate Rider’s annual Thanksgiving Food Basket Drive. Last year, Rider donated more than 150 baskets to hungry families in Mercer County, but the sagging economy only increased the demand this season.

 While most Ph.D. programs advise scholars to become narrowly focused experts in one discipline, Dr. Don Ambrose, professor of Graduate Education, has done the exact opposite for the past 15 years. Ambrose studies high ability, which encompasses giftedness, talent, creativity and intelligence, through the lenses of multiple disciplines.
