We Made It! University Annual Fund Surpasses Goal
2007 graduates

Thanks to the generosity of more than 5,160 alumni, parents, friends, faculty and staff, the University exceeded its $1.45 million Annual Fund goal for the 2007 fiscal year, which ended June 30!

Gifts to the Rider and Westminster Funds are the critical link that help close the gap between tuition (and fees) and operating expenses. These unrestricted funds are used to meet the University's most important needs and opportunities including scholarships, campus improvements, athletics and technology upgrades.

“This is great news for the University,” said Jonathan Meer, vice president of university advancement. "Our Board of Trustees provided tremendous leadership in the achievement of this important goal and I'm so proud of the generous support of so many others in the Rider family."

Thank you to all of our donors! Your generosity helps provide current and future generations of students with an education that prepares them for the personal and professional challenges they will face in their lives after graduation. It is the discipline and knowledge we impart to our graduates that enable them to become successful, contributing members of society.

If you missed the opportunity to contribute this past fiscal year or would like more information about how you can help ensure the success of the 2008 Annual Fund, please contact the Office of Annual Giving at 609-896-5392 or click here.
