Patricia Peterson

Lifelong adventurer Patricia Peterson (Soc’60; MFren’69) published her first book Around the World in 80 Years at the age of 86. The book details her extraordinary global experiences — from meeting Martin Luther King Jr. to climbing Mt. Fuji and trekking in Patagonia. Her deep ties to CU include her father, Stephen A. Romine (MEdu’40; Phd’47), who helped establish the School of Education. As an active member of the Boulder community, Patricia is writing and volunteering, and even won her age group in the 2024 Bolder Boulder 10K running race.
