She is serving in her final semester as USU President.

Dr. Cockett, a tenured faculty member, said she will complete her six-year presidential term in July and re-join the school’s Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences.

The event was organized by USU student body president Clara Alder and other Aggie student government leaders. It had been in the works for weeks. The reception line even included several classes from nearby Edith Bowen Elementary School.

Cockett’s last day as president will be July 1, 2023.

    I’m looking over what she accomplished during her tenure as president and can’t see anything that merits any sort of celebration.
