🎉 Congrats to VMI’s Intercollegiate Ethics Team! On April 12, they won the Military Ethics Case Comp at USNA—for the 3rd time 🏆 (2021, 2023, 2025)!

This month we’re focusing on personal growth + leadership. Riley Shultz, VMI Class of 2024 says it best: “Leadership is humility. If you think you know all the answers, you should probably rethink your mindset.” 🎧 Episode: Something Beyond the Routine youtube.com/watch?v=wdL199…

Eighty-one years ago, ordinary people did the extraordinary. They crossed oceans, stormed beaches, and carried the weight of freedom on their backs. Among them were VMI alumni. Today, we honor their courage. Photo courtesy of The National WWII Museum

On Flag Day, we reflect on the responsibility that comes with leadership, especially in challenging times. At Virginia Military Institute, cadets prepare to lead with courage, integrity, and service, knowing that principled leadership is often tested when the road is uncertain. Photo Brandon Day

For 250 years, soldiers have answered the call to serve our nation. At VMI, cadets are preparing to carry that legacy forward, leading with courage, serving with integrity, and meeting the challenges of tomorrow. Happy 250th Birthday to the U.S. Army. #Army250 #VMI

Leadership and service have shaped VMI since the beginning, and they remain essential to the future of our nation. This Fourth of July, we reflect on the timeless values that built our country and continue to define our Corps.
