A member of the North Central faculty since 1994, Peterson enters her fourth year as a faculty mentor serving as the softball team’s mentor from 2005-07 and the women’s basketball team mentor the past two seasons.
“Throughout my tenure at North Central, I have been interested in watching my students play in sports. The mentoring program allowed me to combine this interest with my commitment to helping students succeed as scholars and individuals at North Central.”
“I attend games, some practices, meet with prospective students along with sending e-mails to the team reminding them of support services available to them, deadlines, etc.
I am also available to meet with students having academic difficulties. Additionally, I meet with the team at the beginning of the year for their opening meeting along with meeting the incoming freshmen at the beginning of the year.”
