Letter from the president: Congratulations, Class of 2023

Dear 2023 Graduates,

Congratulations on the completion of your degree or certificate program at Utah State University! I acknowledge your tenacity as you pursued this milestone and I celebrate you for your success.

During this time of celebration, I invite you to share your accomplishment not only with fellow students, but also with family and friends who have supported you on your academic journey. As you leave USU and start the next chapter of your life, please know that you will always be part of USU’s history, legacy and trajectory.

Every Aggie journey looks different. You have faced personal and unique challenges, seized opportunities for growth and success, and matured into a different person than you were when you first enrolled. You have persisted and grown in ways both measurable, such as the college credential you have earned, and immeasurable, such as friendships and memories you have formed while here.

While your time at USU may be coming to a close, your degree or certificate is a foundation upon which you will build a life and career. As part of the Utah State University alumni family, you join other professionals, educators, entrepreneurs, innovators, creatives, and achievers who are making significant impacts in Utah and around the world.

Congratulations, Class of 2023. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your president, and thank you for being part of the Aggie Family.

Sincerely,

Noelle E. Cockett

President

Utah State University
