A Rider University microsite has been selected as an Official Honoree for the 20th Annual Webby Awards. The distinction puts Rider in the top 20 percent of nearly 13,000 entries from 66 countries around the world.

The microsite focuses on engaged learning at Rider, showcasing the multiple ways in which the University creates opportunities for profound learning experiences. The site highlights the opportunities and results of students participating in internships, study abroad, service learning, student/faculty collaboration, the arts and leadership development.

“The engaged learning microsite takes users through a series of high-impact visuals, which include video and interactive storytelling, that portray how our students take part in a vibrant learning community and cultivate the foundation needed for future career and personal success,” says Rider’s director of enrollment digital strategy, Tara Laposa, who oversees every aspect of the website, including design, strategic planning and execution.

Plethora built this microsite from the ground up and designed its UI with jQuery, CSS, and a responsive layout.
