For two decades, Andrea Peterson has been one of the steady, welcoming presences at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Across roles and offices, one constant has remained: her commitment to making sure students, faculty and staff feel supported.
Today, Peterson is the friendly face who greets students each day in the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Center.
“I describe my role as very hands‑on in helping and being an assistant to everyone — anything people need,” she said.
From her office adorned with family photos and Husker memorabilia, Peterson does everything from directing students to the right place, setting up Zoom advising sessions, arranging appointments and travel, and even answering the occasional phone call from a parent looking for information or resources.
