The generosity of the VMI family—past and present—touches the lives of hundreds of cadets every year. Thank you for your continued support of VMI.

Thank you for being an important part of the work we do to support the Corps of Cadets and the VMI mission. It is incredible to see the impact of your generosity and commitment to VMI. Fiscal Year 2024 strongly positioned us to accomplish our objectives, both in friend raising and fundraising, and we look forward to opportunities for advancement in the coming year.

What I have learned after 40 years of service to VMI and the Alumni Agencies is this: At the very core of all we do is you, our alumni family and friends who choose to invest their treasure in the future of our stellar cadets. The VMI mission has not changed, and while we look to a future of preparing graduates for the 21st century, we also hold close those values of honor, integrity, and service to others above self, the very foundation that VMI stands for.

On behalf of the Corps of Cadets now and in the future, thank you.
