SNHU Homecoming 2024 Hits All the Right Notes
Honoring Professor Lyra Riabov It is with great sadness that we share the passing of former SNHU Professor Lyra Riabov earlier this year. Through a generous gift from her husband, the Lyra Riabov Educational Scholarship has been established in her memory. This scholarship will support students pursuing degrees that lead to licensure in education, empowering the next generation of educators to make a meaningful impact—just as Professor Riabov did throughout her career. To contribute, visit the Giving SNHUdays 2024 webpage, select 'other' at checkout and write in Lyra Riabov. Thank you for celebrating Lyra’s legacy and investing in future educators.
