VT Corps of Cadets

Congratulations to our most recent United States Marine Corps Officer Candidate School graduates!

Before there was a nation, there was a choice — to stand, to sacrifice, and to believe in a future not yet realized. 250 years later, that legacy continues at the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets. We did not create the path. We are entrusted to walk it. Happy birthday, America!

Join our team! You could be our next assistant director of alumni relations for the Corps. Learn more and apply below. jobs.apply.vt.edu/jobs/assistant… @VT_alumni @virginia_tech

We’re excited to welcome Lisa Burton as the Corps’ alumni director! Previously assistant alumni director, she helped expand programming and create new ways for alumni to stay connected. @VT_alumni @virginia_tech

Summer is a great time to see our Corps Museum’s latest exhibit, “The Eyes of the World are Upon You” about Virginia Tech alumni during the D-Day invasion. The museum, located inside the Corps Leadership and Military Science Building, is open most weekdays from 9 a.m - 4 p.m.

It’s a quiet morning on Upper Quad, and we are sending best wishes to our cadets as they complete summer trainings and internships. We are eagerly awaiting Corps Orientation in July and look forward to meeting the Class of 2030.

As we pause to remember the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landing, we recognize the service and sacrifice of several alumni with a new museum exhibit. wsls.com/news/local/202… @VT_alumni @virginia_tech

Here’s a glimpse of our Global Scholars program as they honor and remember the D-Day invasion on site in Normandy. wsls.com/news/local/202… @virginia_tech @StudentsAtVT @VT_alumni

In honor of Lloyd Williams, U.S Marine and Virginia Tech alum now famous for his words “Retreat, Hell, we just got here!” forever etched in the history of the USMC, our Global Scholars’ second cohort took a side trip to Belleau Wood on the 108th anniversary of the battle.

Congratulations to our former regimental commander Robert Waugh for being selected as the undergraduate student representative for the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors! news.vt.edu/articles/2026/… @VTEngineering @StudentsAtVT

Our Global Scholars’ second cohort has reached Omaha Beach and the memorial to the Bedford Boys.

Today, we pause to remember those who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their names are etched in history. Their sacrifice endures. We honor them and the legacy they leave behind. @virginia_tech @StudentsAtVT

Help us celebrate the outstanding academic performance of the regiment this semester and our cadets with a 3.0 or higher who earned a spot on the Commandant's List! vtcc.vt.edu/academic-progr… @StudentsAtVT @virginia_tech

The first cohort of our 2026 Global Scholars have landed! This cohort is starting in England, studying pre-D-Day planning before visiting the beaches of Normandy and many other historic locations later in their trip. @StudentsAtVT @virginia_tech

Today, they took the oath—stepping into a calling bigger than themselves. We congratulate our cadets who commissioned into the U.S. military and we are proud of their service, leadership, and commitment to something greater.

We are excited to welcome family and friends on Friday to the Joint Commissioning and Corps Graduation ceremony in Cassell Coliseum at 8 pm. For the event livestream, check this link during the ceremony ⬇️ commencement.vt.edu/watch.html @StudentsAtVT

From commitment to command: Cadet Gavin Worthington’s Corps of Cadets experience reshaped how he defines leadership — as service, responsibility, and leaving others better. news.vt.edu/articles/2026/… @StudentsAtVT @virginia_tech

An ending worth celebrating, a beginning worth believing in—shaped by sacrifice, led by duty, and united through service.
