Michael ’23 & Taria Richards ’23

September 7, 2023

Michael Richards, 34, and Taria, 29, are high school dropouts and parents of five who earned their GEDs and enrolled online at SNHU to show their kids that it’s “never too late to start over.” Despite enrolling two years apart, the couple walked the Commencement stage together in 2023. Michael earned a BS in Computer Science and Taria earned a BA in Psychology. Using his education, Michael has already landed a position as a Junior Software Developer, while Taria accepted a role with the state.
