Leading a Small College or University: A Conversation That Never Ends
Harry L. Peterson retired as president of Western State College of Colorado in 2002. His administrative career focused on organizational change and external relations. Earlier in his career he served as an administrator at University of Wisconsin Green Bay when it opened in 1969 and became a four year university; he reported to three Chancellors at the University of Wisconsin Madison, including serving as Chief of Staff to Donna Shalala while she was Chancellor at that university. Peterson was Deputy Chancellor of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities in the mid-1990s, when that system of higher education was created, and Vice President for University Relations and Development at the University of Idaho. He also served in the administrations of two Wisconsin governors.
