Open your eyes and heart. Immersing yourself in a new culture means you’ll never think of yourself — or others— in the same way.
The arts can change your heart, mind and soul. When you both appreciate and engage in the creative and performing arts, you grow as an educated person.
Get involved. Be it politics, hunger, homelessness or the environment — choose a cause and become a true agent of change.
You’ll become a better thinker and problem solver through the power of teamwork, working with your professors and fellow students.
Challenge yourself. You’ll stand out from the competition through your ability to collaborate, communicate and build teams.
What Is Engaged Learning? Engaged learning is the common, unifying thread that connects every part of living and learning at Rider. It’s a deeply personal and destiny-changing experience for every student. How it transforms you will be uniquely yours to determine. Learn more at rider.edu/EngagedLearning.
