Administration Specialist, University Communications, who has worked at Rider since 1966
Q: What鈥檚 the biggest change you鈥檝e seen at Rider since you first started?
A: Technology, more majors, programs and workshops. More buildings have been added. It happened so fast that right before my eyes, Rider became the beautiful campus it is today.
Q: What about the University has not changed since you started?
A: Over the years, the quality of the faculty and staff and their dedication and expertise they give to the Rider students have remained top priorities.
Q: Why have you decided to dedicate so much time to Rider?
A: I鈥檝e always felt I was very fortunate not only to have a wonderful immediate family, but to have just as wonderful Rider family as well. Over the years, the two blended and became one. Together, we shared many aspects Rider had to offer 鈥 educational, cultural and sports, to name a few. To this day, lasting friendships have been made, and I am so thankful to have experienced all of this. Everything that Rider had to offer over the years was there for me 鈥 just for the asking. Rider gave me the opportunity to keep learning, and in turn, recognition for my efforts came my way.
Q: What is your best memory of your time here?
A: To be honest, this October, it will be 48 years I鈥檝e been here at Rider not counting my time here as a student, so I have three that rank as the best. The day Rider became a University, seeing what now is now known as 鈥渢he Shot鈥 that put the Rider basketball team into the NCAA鈥檚, and listening to the broadcast of the Rider baseball team playing in the College World Series.
