Alayne Peterson became a faculty member at UW-Fond du Lac in the fall of 2005. Prior to that time she taught for one year as an English lecturer at UW-Fond du Lac and has also taught at Marquette University, UW-Waukesha, UW-Washington County, Columbia College in Chicago, Terra Community College in Ohio and University of Toledo.

 

She is the Engaging Students in the First Year (ESFY) coordinator on campus and was one of the faculty who taught the two day LEC 100 seminar class "Frankenstein" in the fall of 2005.

Though not a "techie," Alayne is interested in Artificial Intelligence, nanotechnology and robotics as they impact our society--her English 102 class is called "Considering the Future" and deals with some of these so-called "science fiction" issues.

She is also currently writing a one-woman show on the life of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley--an offshoot of the work she did on the Frankenstein LEC-100 course this fall.

Alayne lives in Greenbush, Wisconsin with her husband, Tony, and daughter, Katy, and enjoys hiking the Ice Age Trail that runs past their house.
