Why did you choose to attend Rider?
I chose Rider because I loved how the school is a small, diverse environment. I love how everyone smiles at you as you walk past.  It’s like we are one big family. 
 

What do you like about Rider?
I love how my teachers are always willing to assist in any work that I have trouble with.  It doesn’t matter if you contact them by email or visit with them during their office hours.  The small class size helps too because professors get to know you.

From being at Rider, I have learned that you obtain many of your advantages by getting involved on campus.  I became a tour guide and a student ambassador.  I have a work study job in Residence Life and I’m also a member of the Black Student Union and Women’s Center.  My college experience is teaching me about myself.  The old Zuri was so reserved and uninvolved.  Now I can’t wait to see what I participate in next.
 

What was/is your favorite course? 
Seminar in African American/Multi-Ethnic Literature
 

What professor at Rider has influenced you most?  Why?
Dr. Gary Barricklow, professor of English is one of my favorite professors.  He encourages students to think outside of the box.  My best learning experience was when I had to put my paper up on the computer and allow not only Dr. Barricklow to critique it, but the entire class as well.  At first, I was so intimidated.  But after going through it, I realized how much it helped me – I got so many more ideas to add to my paper and with the class’ help, and Dr. Barricklow’s guidance, I received an A on my paper.
 

What are your career plan following graduation?
I hope to become a fashion editor.  It just seems right.  I love fashion trends as well as writing.
