International Martial Arts Champion and First-year Engineering Student Demonstrates Tenacity On and Off the Mat
Michigan Tech student Haley Peterson earned her associate degree, completed two internships with NASA and became a mixed martial arts world champion — all before graduating high school. Now, she's on to her next challenge: becoming a Husky engineer. Haley Peterson's journey to Michigan Technological University included unusual international stops: back-to-back World Pankration Championships, where she earned over a dozen medals. Competing in an ancient sport that dates back to the original Olympic Games helped Peterson discover what she's capable of — and she brought the same fighting spirit to Michigan Tech.
