Rider Stories

"The more involved I became at Rider, the more I loved it and thrived."

"Rider provided leadership opportunities and internships that allowed me to develop professionally."

I went there with a healthy, active interest in journalism but Rider ignited my passion and determination to pursue a career in the field.

Rider’s world class business school and the dual accreditation for the accounting program offered me the courses that I knew would benefit me most for the long term.

"I was fortunate to work with truly renowned orchestras, conductors and singers, and perform in leading venues like Carnegie Hall."

"I never thought I’d be this far into my career two years out of college."

The music industry is changing so rapidly – and I know I’ll need to grow and adapt.  Rider gave me the confidence to succeed.

"I gained a valuable perspective about what drives various stakeholders ... This enabled me to be more effective at leading teams and influencing change within my organization."

It’s uncommon for all undergraduates to do independent research at larger universities. You learn a lot outside of the classroom which definitely translates into my master’s work and going into the work force.
