The Proof Is In Our People
Why Michael Chose Rider
"When I visited, Rider made me feel welcome and comfortable. I also recognized that Rider provides some great opportunities for its students. I thought that if I worked for it, Rider could help me reach my goals."

During his four years at Rider, Mike took full advantage of opportunities to build his leadership and professional skills. He served as chapter president and vice president for finance for his fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon; treasurer and finance board chairman for the Student Government Association; technology and web chairman for Relay for Life; and chair of the Appeals Council. As a College of Business Administration honors student, Mike also worked with incoming students through the Freshman Peer Mentoring program. He also gained valuable hands-on, real world experience through a summer internship and six-month co-op at Johnson & Johnson.
