On-campus engagements are our favorite ❀️ @rideralumni Sophie Harper ’16 and Elena Martinez ’20 met in 2013 at Rider's Spectrum Pride Alliance. After losing touch over the years, they reconnected in 2016 and have been together since 2017. On Jan. 9, Elena proposed to Sophie at a vineyard in northern New Jersey, and on Jan. 16 Sophie proposed to Elena back where they met on Rider’s campus. A spring 2022 wedding is planned. #RiderRomances Share your big moments with [email protected].

How Lexi Vernon '21 found her #HomeAtRider β€œI chose Rider because I wanted to go to a college that would push me to break out of my comfort zone, since I’m an out-of-state student (Connecticut). I also loved how small the classes were so I knew I would always feel comfortable talking to professors. I knew Rider was the right fit for me the first time I took a tour of campus. I remember the campus being so beautiful and I enjoyed how close together everything was. My favorite Rider memory is getting the chance to study abroad for a full semester in Australia, in the fall of 2019.
