Meet Peter
Graduate Program Specialist
Peter Concepcion
Hafa adai! Peter is originally from Guam, a small island in the Pacific Ocean.
After receiving his Bachelors in 2017 and his Masters in 2020, he has worked at a couple of different universities including the University of Northern Colorado and Metropolitan State University of Denver before joining the Mines family.
As the first one to complete graduate school in his family he understands how confusing and intimidating it can be. His compassion and knowledge of the process allows him to assist students while helping them to understand it all, too!
Outside of work you can usually find Peter spending time with family and friends, making people laugh, or trying out new restaurants around Colorado… food recommendations are always welcome!
Totally True Tidbits
Graduated from Elementary School twice. The first time after fifth grade and then switched schools only to find out he was still in elementary school until after 6th grade.
Would prefer more dinner over dessert… but will never turn down a glass of milk and some cookies
Can lift heavy things but gets winded going up 1 flight of stairs.
Has lived in Colorado since he was 7 but has never been camping.
