Cecille Sorio '17 named second consecutive female Corps Commander
The Texas A&M Corps of Cadets has announced its senior leaders for the 2016-2017 academic year, and among the 13 Cadets selected for leadership positions, Cecille Sorio '17 was selected as Corps Commander.
This marks the second year in a row — and second time in the Corps’ 140-year history — that a female has been named Commander of the Corps of Cadets.
Sorio will succeed Alyssa Marie Michalke '16 in the role.

Sorio, a San Antonio native, is currently Sergeant Major of the 3rd Wing and is a junior meteorology major and member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 2017.
