Education is Not a Matter of Age

This is the story of a mother and her daughter who are graduating together from Barry University.
Marnatha Ternier, 48, and Hillary Pierre, 23, will receive their university degrees from Barry University's School of Business and Public Administration in South Florida. “Graduating alongside my daughter is one of the most significant milestones of my life,” said Ms. Ternier. Reflecting on their admission, they admit they had not planned to share the same academic stage, having applied separately, one for a Master's in Business Administration and the other in Public Administration. The story of these two women inspires us that no one is too old to get an education and that it can be done with the support of one's family. Regarding their future plans, Ms. Ternier wants to pursue a doctorate in public policy governance to serve Haiti. For her part, Hillary also intends to obtain a doctorate while continuing her work at the Care Center and opening the door to other potential professional adventures.
