As one of the major components in Rider University’s ongoing
quest to educate the campus community on issues surrounding alcohol
and substance abuse and to lessen related incidents, Mark Fisher
of Ewing, N.J., has been appointed Substance Abuse Prevention
Specialist. The former counselor at New Horizons Treatment Services
in Trenton, N.J., started his new position on September 10.
Fisher will provide overall comprehensive coordination of Rider’s
alcohol and substance abuse programming. “I look forward
to working with members of the campus community,” said Fisher.
“Maintaining close communication is one of the key elements
in creating a culture that is intolerant of drug and alcohol abuse.”
While at New Horizons, Fisher provided individual and group counseling
for clients, which included long-term treatment plans. His areas
were prevention, recovery and addiction relapse issues. Prior
to that, he served as an adjunct counselor in Rider’s Counseling
Office at Westminster Choir College on the Princeton campus.
Fisher earned a B.S. in speech and dramatic arts from Central
Michigan University and an M.A. in community counseling summa
cum laude from The College of New Jersey. In addition, he holds
certification as a National Certified Counselor.
