Bio: Xavier Cotton is transferring from Front Range Community College to the Colorado School of Mines as a junior in the Fall of 2022. He kept busy during his community college years; two of his proudest accomplishments are leading a DemoSat team for the Space Grant Consortium and presenting an innovative way to clean oil spills in Washington DC for the Community College Innovation Challenge. Xavier will be kept busy at Mines too, where he will pursue a BS in Computer Science. After graduating, Xavier would like to be a software engineer specializing in AI development and innovation to help world sustainability.

Xavier loves all things computers, long board games, shopping, and peanut butter jelly. On the weekend, you can probably find him working on a coding project or binge-watching a reality tv show.
