in stone. “I really want to learn Spanish, so I’ve already signed

an associate professor of Management and the dean emeritus of the
College of Business Administration who will officially retire on
June 30. More

More than 1,000 Rider University alumni are expected to converge
upon the Lawrenceville campus for Reunion Weekend on Friday, June
13, and Saturday, June 14, to reconnect with friends and fellow
alums, honor distinguished graduates, and enjoy dozens of fun
events, great music and delicious food.
Chris Reed, a senior at Cumberland Regional High School, had the
chance to shine at his soon-to-be new performance venue. Reed,
who will be a freshman at Rider University in the fall as an acting
scholar, performed an abridged version, along with his classmates,
of William Shakespeare's As You Like It in the Yvonne
Theater on the Lawrenceville campus.
On a day that will see more than 1,000 alumni arrive at the Lawrenceville campus through various methods of transportation to attend Reunion Weekend, it'll be good old fashioned walking and running that plays the most pivotal role in raising funds for Rider University's female student-athletes through the 5K Walk/Run for Women's Athletics on Saturday, June 14.
