She has received numerous awards for her journalistic contributions (Associated Press, 1981).

Ms. Cozean earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Stephens College, and a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in journalism from the University of Missouri School of Journalism. She has also worked as an adjunct professor at Marist College, SUNY New Paltz and Dutchess County Community College.
