One Corps, One VMI
The VMI Unifying Action Plan takes the 14 descriptors of Vision 2039 and reinforces the focus on the Cadet as an individual committed to the unifying principles of ‘One Corps, One VMI’ – a Cadet fully embracing pride in the accomplishments and diversity of the Corps, inclusive of all Cadets and respectful of the tests of character each Cadet must overcome in academics, athletics and within our military system.
