The Clarity Keeper: Korinne Peterson’s Passion for Financial Aid (opens in new tab)

Korinne N. Peterson, EdD, starts and ends most days looking out over the water. From her home in Swansea, Massachusetts, near Boston, she says the ocean provides her a daily reminder to pause, reset, and regain perspective. She brings that careful approach to her work at Fielding Graduate University, where Dr. Peterson serves as Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Her days involve complex and shifting federal rules, deadlines, forms, borrowing decisions, and students’ very human worries.
