Rider picks Robert Morris leader as new president

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. (AP) — Rider University has chosen the current leader of Robert Morris University as its new president.

Gregory Dell'Omo is to succeed Mordechai Rozanski at the Lawrenceville school on Aug. 1.

Dell'Omo has been president of Robert Morris, in Pittsburgh, for a decade. During his time there, the school increased its enrollment, added on-campus housing and boosted its endowment.

Rozanski announced earlier this year that he would leave Rider at the end of this academic year. He has been president since 2003.

Rider is celebrating its 150th anniversary.
