When navigating the pitfalls of education it always helps to have someone that understands the struggles. The new USU-Uintah Basin director of student affairs, Bob Peterson, is just such an individual. He is a Uintah Basin native that grew up in Roosevelt and graduated from Union High. He got his bachelor’s in business administration at USU in Logan and his master’s in public administration from Brigham Young University. He has spent his entire career working in education and just recently was vice president of advancement at UBTech. The associate vice president

says Peterson is “a blue-blooded Aggie and his extensive professional work in student affairs and ability to connect the university mission with our local community and resources will help our region and benefit our students. He will help us expand and strengthen our partnership, bringing our two institutions closer together to collaborate on academic initiatives and workforce needs.” The Basin is excited to have such a talented man to help the community.
