A retirement reception was held Tuesday, May 9 at Pittsburg State University for Professor Virginia Rider, who taught and advised the pre-med and pre-veterinary programs in the Biology Department since 2000 and led the department as chair for several years. In addition to colleagues and current students, several area doctors were in attendance, having been taught by or advised by her, and spoke of her influence on them. In her time at PSU, Rider won the Ingram's Magazine Icons of Education Award, the Robert K. Ratzlaff Outstanding Faculty Award, and served as campus coordinator for K-INBRE undergraduate research, which earned her the first Sydney A. McNairy Jr. Award through the National Institutes of Health. But the biggest reward, Rider said, was seeing former students go on to become successful in medicine.
