    Hello there!

    Hello future Aggie, my name is David Cota and I’m here to assist you with and all the opportunities that New Mexico State University has to offer. I’m from Douglas, Arizona and have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies. In my spare time, I enjoy outdoor activities, playing sports, traveling, reading and eating. As a first-generation student, I understand the challenges many students face in pursuing their education, but If you have the drive, anything is possible. So be bold and challenge yourself to pursue your dreams.
