What is PRIDE Mentoring?

PRIDE Mentoring is a collaborative program hosted between the Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) and Rider’s PRIDE Alliance. This program is an opportunity for first-year and transfer LGBTQIA+ students to be plugged into a community that affirms and supports their identity development. Incoming first-year students will be mentored by sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Additionally, students will have bi-weekly programming to ensure that they are staying engaged on campus.
