🎓 It’s finally here—after years of dedication, late-night writing sessions, and countless cups of coffee, I’m proud to share that I’m graduating from Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing and English, with a concentration in Fiction and a minor in Professional Writing.
This journey has been more than just academic. It’s been about resilience, rediscovery, and rising through adversity. From my time in the military and EMS, through the shadows of trauma, to the bright flame of storytelling—I’ve poured my heart into every page, every poem, and every lesson learned along the way.
I couldn’t have done it without the support of so many of you—my family, friends, fellow creatives, and readers. Your encouragement has meant more than you’ll ever know.
💻 I would be honored if you joined me virtually as I cross the stage and celebrate this milestone. You can watch the graduation livestream at the link below:

Whether you’ve walked beside me since the beginning or just recently joined me on this path, I’m so grateful to have you here. This degree is not just a piece of paper—it’s a testament to persistence, healing, and the power of words to change lives.
Thank you for believing in me.
With love and gratitude,
Richard White 🎓
