More than six months after outgoing President Noelle Cockett announced her resignation, Utah State University will soon have a new leader.
The Utah Board of Higher Education announced the new president Friday in Logan after two days of meetings and discussion.
Elizabeth “Betsy” Cantwell was announced as the new Utah State president during a Utah Board of Higher Education meeting late Friday. The board held a brief meeting and unanimously voted for Cantwell to lead the university. She will officially start this summer when Cockett’s resignation goes into effect.
“I’m enormously grateful to the board for their faith in me,” Cantwell said on stage moments after being voted in. “I will do everything in my power to step into a place that has basically made beautiful by President Cockett, and move us all forward into what is truly an incredible future for Utah State University and for the state of Utah.”agenda
