BELIEVE WHAT YOU DO MATTERS: Christopher Werner 13 was a student teacher at Trenton s Grace A. Dunn Middle School, where he now teaches seventh-grade social studies. I always wanted to teach in an inner-city school. Through Rider s service learning program, I gained valuable experience with an after-school program to help prepare me. People sometimes suggest Chris should consider a suburban school. Then I remember the kids, and I know that they need people who care about them, he says. If not me, then who? 16 rider.edu/engagedlearning 17
