Rider graduates celebrate the University's 150th Commencement by decorating their mortar boards with personal messages.
The Class of 2015 hailed from 24 states and 17 countries, including China, Saudi Arabia, Ghana and France, which sent more students to Rider than any other country did.
60% of Rider graduates participated in an internship, co-op or student teaching assignment.
More females (58%) than males (42%) at Rider received diplomas this year, continuing a nationwide trend that began in the mid-1990s.
