Founder’s Day

A special highlight of Rider’s Family Day on Saturday, November 3 is the Founder’s Day awards ceremony, a tradition that honors Rider’s top students as Andrew J. Rider Scholars. The program begins at 11 a.m. in the Bart Luedeke Center Theater. The Scholars have been selected based on their grade point averages in the past year.

The award, named for Rider’s founder and first president, honors the top one percent of sophomores, juniors and seniors in each of Rider’s five academic colleges and schools – the College of Business Administration, the School of Education, the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Continuing Studies, and Westminster Choir College.

During the program, Dr. John Baer, professor of education, will receive the Dominick A. Iorio Faculty Research Award. Dr. Barry Truchil, associate professor of sociology, will give the faculty address and Ruth R. Rodriguez, a senior from the College of Continuing Studies, will deliver the student address. President Mordechai Rozanski will award certificates to 57 students during the ceremony.
