    Hokies at the Tip of the Spear

    It is a common phrase on Upper Quad: “Cadets need to be ready upon graduation.” Recent world events have highlighted this reality once again. Our Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets alumni, some of whom just graduated last May, are in the areas of the world that we all see nightly on the evening news.

    Platoon Tactical Challenge Tests Leadership on Every Level

    The mud was waist deep. There was shouting, confusion, and smoke. Exhausted cadets set a perimeter around the simulated casualty as the urgent order from the platoon leader to move out was yelled across the wet, marshy field. They had miles to go until they were done.

  • General Item
    Lerner and Dominique stand with a Corps flag in front of a sign about the conference.
    Foundations in Peace Through Networking

    In March, Cadet Nicholas Dominique, Capt. Jamie McGrath, and I traveled to Palermo, Italy to attend the 4th International Forum for Peace, Security, and Prosperity (IFPSP).

    He Will Be Missed

    After 13 years serving as the commandant of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, Maj. Gen. Randal Fullhart will retire this July. The longest serving commandant in Corps history, Fullhart created an environment of growth and excellence during his tenure, seeing the completion of three new residence halls for cadets and a new headquarters building, the Corps Leadership and Military Science Building, for the Corps and ROTC units.

  • General Item
    A large group of cadets and students stand and smile for the camera under a banner with the name of the Naval leadership conference.
    A Curriculum of Conferences

    During the 2023-2024 academic year, the Rice Center sent 35 cadets to 10 different conferences, ranging from conferences at Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in Lexington, Virginia, to Palermo, Italy.
