Office of the President

A Welcome from The President of Rider University

We are a student-centered university of learning and doing, of engagement and success - and we are committed to offering these essential opportunities to every Rider student.

This is a powerful promise, but one we believe makes all the difference in the educational experience you will find at Rider.  We achieve it by:

bringing together an accomplished faculty whose members prize great teaching; providing rich, hands-on experiences to apply classroom theory to real-world practice, ranging from student research to professional internships; giving our students practical ways to develop their strengths as leaders and responsible citizens; and infusing our curriculum with a global perspective essential to success in our increasingly international society.

Since 1865, our faculty and staff have dedicated themselves to making Rider University an inspiring and supportive place to learn.  We set high expectations of performance for ourselves and our students, both in and out of the classroom.

Our success can be measured in the achievements of our graduates.  From the boardroom to the research lab, from the classroom to government office, and from center stage to the courtroom, Rider alumni are enriching their communities, transforming their professions, and changing the world.

I invite you to learn about our rich opportunities in the pages of this web site.  I also encourage you to visit our distinctive campuses in Lawrenceville and Princeton.  We look forward to the opportunity to serve you.

Mordechai Rozanski
