Natalie Schommer-Pries ’04

October 9, 2025

It is with great sadness that I write about the passing of Nick Taylor (’04 CS). He passed away on February 27 after a long battle with illness. I know that he will be remembered for many great accomplishments during his time at Google. To those of us lucky enough to be his friends and classmates I am sure we will always remember his sense of humor, joy at laughing at himself and others during our frequent shenanigans while at Mudd, and never-ending curiosity to learn more about the world. He was a great travel buddy that brought a wonderful wealth of knowledge and was a true joy to have on any adventure. He is survived by his spouse Dan Langley and two adorable cats.

We love hearing about your professional and personal milestones, and the notes are a great way to keep up with friends and classmates and foster connection.

Submit the class notes form to share your life updates. All items submitted appear online in their entirety, however, may be subject to editing. Submitted notes will also be reviewed for publication in Mudd Magazine (fall/winter–January or spring/summer–August) and in academic department e-newsletters, and are subject to editing, including for grammar and space availability. If submitting a photo, high-resolution (file size at least 1 MB) is best so that it reproduces well in the print magazine.

Notes are listed by date received. Customize this page by searching by class year and/or major. If you have questions or comments, please email alumni@hmc.edu.
