How Owen McCarron found his #HomeAtRider: “I chose to attend Rider University because no other school felt like home faster. As an incoming student, I was really intrigued by the radio station and all its programs and opportunities. In fact, my favorite memory at Rider is probably when I was first selected to be a member of the executive staff at @1077thebronc. It was a wake-up call for me that showed I was capable of bigger things and encouraged me to push my boundaries even further. A very close second is probably Spring Bid Day ’23 – the energy was out of this world! I owe a lot to the brothers of @riderthetachi_. Without such a strong family by my side, I don’t know how I would’ve managed the transition to college life on my own. My advice to anyone considering Rider is to take a tour! The Office of Admissions at Rider makes sure every student finds the home they're looking for while making sure that the adjustment from high school to college is smooth as it can be." Owen McCarron is a junior majoring in radio and podcasting with a minor in sports media. He is a color commentator for @riderwbb, a host on the radio show "Wake Up Rider" and the student chief engineer for @1077thebronc. He's also the social chair for @riderthetachi_, a tour guide for @rideruadmissions, the sweetheart of @dphierider and an orientation leader for @riderorientation.
