Bertram Mott Award

​Dr. Bert Mott, a respected member of the English department faculty, was one of the original founders of the Rider University chapter of the AAUP and was a strong advocate of shared academic governance.  He believed that when faculty and administrators work collaboratively to develop academic programs, the result would be a curriculum with integrity.  In honor of his dedication to this principle, the Rider University Chapter of the AAUP will annually present our Bertram Mott Award to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the development and enhancement of academic programs at Rider University
