The Frank N. Elliott Award for Distinguished Service is presented every year to one member each of the faculty, administration and support staff (clerical, secretarial, security and facilities). The award was created by the Rider University Board of Trustees to honor Dr. Elliott at the time of his retirement in 1990 for the many contributions he made to Rider during his 21-year presidency. The award is presented to individuals who have demonstrated both extraordinary and meritorious service to Rider and contributed widely to the Rider community.
