Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets

Everyone is looking for great leaders. The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets’ mission is to help nurture and create them. A significant part of the Virginia Tech since its establishment in 1872, we have evolved into a world-class leader development program that understands that at the root of great leaders is great character. This involves more than just classroom work. This is a four-year commitment to strive 24/7 to develop practical, ethical leadership skills. Beyond our military tradition, our uniforms allow cadets to make a statement that they have committed to a course of study, a set of high standards, and a way of life not chosen by all.
