In September 2025, Whitney Matthews ’07 took her seat on the Alumni Association board as the Region IV Mid-Atlantic regional director. “It’s important for me to be involved with the Alumni Association because I want to show other women that they can be involved, too,” she said.

Cadet Ebenezer Abebrese '27 had next to no knowledge of the Institute before he applied. In fact, when he first looked into VMI at the suggestion of a fellow member of his high school JROTC program, his first instinct was to search for universities with less intense first years.

Since its founding, VMI has produced young men and women of resiliency. For some, it’s a mindset learned through 4 long years of trial and tribulation. For others, like Niko Feher ’26, it is an attitude acquired early on in their cadetship.

“I think what this place instilled in me more than anything else was just a commitment to do my best at anything I tried and a commitment to excellence as a habit and not an act. One time is easy—doesn’t get you anywhere. It needs to be a day-on, stay-on type of activity.”

That’s how Lt. Gen. David Furness ’87, the Institute’s 16th superintendent, describes his transformational journey as a cadet—a journey that now serves as his guiding star as he leads the Corps of Cadets and serve as the public face of VMI to alumni, legislators, and the world.
