The Senior Year Experience is a coordinated effort of the University colleges and the offices of Alumni Relations, Annual Giving, Career Services and the Senior Class Council. Together, we have developed The Senior Year Experience to bring informative, educational and social programming to your door. Through alumni volunteer interaction the Senior Year Experience serves as a bridge as seniors transition from being Rider and Westminster students to becoming Rider and Westminster alumni, thus promoting a lifelong partnership with Rider University and Westminster Choir College.
The Senior Year Experience includes a variety of FREE one-hour sessions to help you sharpen your career search skills, led by faculty, staff, alumni and other leaders in the field. The sessions build toward an overall education on the complexities of the successful job search.
Past sessions are available on videotape. Watch sessions here.
Get your job search off to a running start by attending the career development programs, attend Pub Nights and other social events and support your alma mater through the Class Pride program. Become a Facebook fan for all things Rider and WCC Senior!
Your future begins with "you."
