students, enrolled in "Gender, War and Peace," "Leadership

to date raised approximately $3,500 through gifts earmarked for the fund and
various fundraising efforts. The scholarship, yet to be awarded, will aid
any woman who has been forced from her native country for fear of physical
harm to herself or a family member. She must reside in the United States,
need financial assistance and be accepted as a student at Rider University.
As part of on-going fundraising activities,
the students organized a pie-throwing contest last fall semester as part of
closing ceremonies for the Latin American Student Organization's (LASO)
Heritage Month celebration. Members of the Rider University community were
invited to throw pies – at $1 per pie -- at two courageous faculty members
– Dr. Bosah Ebo, professor of communication, and Dr. Frank Rusciano,
chairman of the political science department.
