Graduate Spotlight: Wayne Herridge

A man and his wife smiling.

Wayne , a 44-year-old from England, had never completed a college degree. He felt stuck and wanted to change the trajectory of his career. After returning to school through BYU-Pathway, it added value to his life, helped him build strong friendships, and advanced his career. Wayne is proudly graduating today with a bachelor’s degree in applied technology!

He said, “I wasn’t good at school before, but now I know I can work under pressure, meet deadlines, and complete different tasks at the same time. I have become resilient and determined.”
