Dominick A. Iorio Faculty Research Prize
Named in honor of Dr. Dominick A. Iorio, who retired as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Science in 1997 after 24 years of service to Rider, the Dominick A. Iorio Faculty Research Prize recognizes distinguished faculty scholarship and research. Award winners have made significant contributions to their fields through the quality of their research and scholarly publications. Nominations for the award come from the faculty; an appropriate nominee has a record of research and scholarship that roughly approximates the critieria for promotion to Professor and Professor-Librarian. The annual award is announced each year on Founder's Day.
