Sethi Earns Fulbright-Nehru Fellowship to Teach in Hyderabad
 Robbie Clipper Sethi’s writing has seen her weave American culture into that of India, using experiences and observations from her own narrative to help shape her fiction. Sethi, a professor of English, will now be able to meld her American perspectives with those of students at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) in Hyderabad, India, through the Fulbright-Nehru Fellowship she was awarded in April. Through the program, Sethi will teach creative writing to IIIT students at the central India campus.
Roderick McDonald Earns Guggenheim Fellowship
 Dr. Roderick McDonald has spent his entire career researching and teaching Caribbean, Latin American, African American and African history, but if his enthusiasm has flagged one bit, it’s impossible to detect in his manner. McDonald’s passion for his research isn’t his alone, as he recently became the first faculty member in Rider history to earn a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. His was one of just 180 such grants for 2009-10 for artists, scholars and scientists in all fields from across the United States and Canada.
Anna Robbins Celebrates 50 Years at Rider
 Even the few Rider students of today who know that Gee Hall was named to honor Bernice Gee have a hard time imagining Rider’s longtime treasurer as someone accessible beyond the sepia-toned memories of the University’s past. To Anna Robbins, however, Bernice Gee is as real as the residence hall that bears her name. It was Gee who brought Robbins into the Rider community as an eager clerical worker back in 1959. Today, Robbins – now Rider’s bursar – still brings the same enthusiasm to her job each day as she did 50 years ago.
Honoring 1,205 Years of Longtimers’ Service
 The close of the academic year and the passage of another year’s class from students into the legions of Rider University alumni are annual rites of spring on campus. These yearly milestones are met with much fanfare that draws thousands of friends and family members to Lawrenceville every May. But Rider also makes it a point to honor the administrators, faculty and staff members who have kept the institution moving smoothly through these annual cycles. Members of the Rider and Westminster Choir College communities who have devoted 20 or more years of service were fêted by the University on Wednesday, May 6, at the annual Longtimers Reception
