José Rey '10

Communication Studies, B.A.

Rider offers many opportunities to get involved outside of the classroom. It was easy to get involved in Greek life, the radio station, and The Rider News. These student-run organizations provide another level of experiential learning that not only helps to develop technical skills, but also the team building and leadership skills needed to be successful.
