The mission of the Office of Athletic Academic Advising is to ensure that VMI cadet athletes experience a balanced program in which they excel athletically and academically. They provide academic support to all NCAA athletes in a variety of functions. The office, located in Carroll Hall, assists athletes with the identification of individual career goals and selection of an academic major, and also maintains the tutoring program. The Athletic Academic Advising staff mentors the cadet-athlete throughout their cadetship, and devotes all resources to continued progress toward degree completion and successful employment upon graduation.

The Athletic Academic Advising Office is currently headed by Stephen Ross and Sherry Baucom. Ross has taught in the VMI Economics department and was the VMI head soccer coach from 1989 to 2005, while Baucom is also VMI’s Senior Woman Administrator.

The goals of the Athletic Academic Advising Office are to provide: · academic support for all NCAA athletes · mentoring, counseling and advising · oversight and review of grades · a liaison between the cadet and the athletic director, team coaches, and departmental faculty advisors · assistance in the recruitment of quality athletes

Player Development:

Strength and conditioning is a key component to the success of the football program, and VMI prides itself on providing the cadet-athlete with the tools to improve oneself physically.

This fall, a new 3,400 square-foot facility will open on the ground floor of the newly expanded Clarkson-McKenna Hall, which houses VMI football operations. The facility will feature the latest in strength and conditioning equipment, and will provide Keydet football players a state-of-the-art facility conveniently located near the locker room and practice fields.

The Charles S. Luck ‘20 Memorial Weight Room located in Cocke Hall. A new football weight training facility will open in Clarkson- McKenna Hall this fall.

ChartingCharting AA NewNew CourseCourse The Keydets will play in a refurbished stadium under new head coach Jim Reid in 2006

The sounds of jackhammers, bulldozers and drills filled the stands of VMI’s football stadium in the spring and summer as the new Foster Stadium took shape. Come fall, Keydet football fans are planning to replace those sounds with cheers.

Excitement from the ground up is swelling with the VMI football program as the 2006 season will feature a refurbished stadium, a new coaching staff, and many new faces on the roster.

New head coach Jim Reid took the reins of the program in December, 2005 and inherits a squad that returns just nine starters on both sides of the ball.

That hasn’t dampened the spirits of the energetic Reid and his new staff which have impressed upon the players in the VMI program to draw on those qualities that the Institute instills on individual development.

“What we like to be as a football program, and I believe, as VMI, is an environment where we take that small segment of dedicated men and women Quarterback Jonathan Wilson threw for over 200 yards in four different games last season. and develop them to their fullest, to their maxi- mum potential,” Reid said. “We got better as a who serve as co-captain of the 2006 squad. healthy Mizzer in 2006 will be a big compliment football team, strength-wise and conditioning- Wilson is a proven college quarterback and ranks to Jackson, who is the leading returning ground wise this spring; the Institute allowed us to make third all-time on the VMI list with over 4,300 gainer from a year ago (622 yards) and handled everybody better and the environment helped us career yards passing and produced four 200-yard the majority of repetitions in spring practice. to do that.

VMI offers qualified young men and women a demanding combination of academic study and rigorous military training that exists nowhere else, and grants B.A. and B.S. degrees in fourteen disciplines within the general fields of engineering, science, and liberal arts. The Institute’s emphasis on qualities of honor, integrity, and responsibility contributes to its unique educational philosophy. Professional leadership training is provided to all cadets through the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs, maintained at VMI by the Department of Defense. Cadets are encouraged to pursue commissions in the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, or Marine Corps. In every field of endeavor, whether it’s leadership in business, industry, public service, education, the professions, or careers in the military, success comes early to a high number of VMI graduates. In an independent survey of college graduates seeking employment, armed forces commission, or admis- sion to graduate or professional school following graduation, 95 percent of VMI graduates met their goal by the following October. VMI’s academic breadth is diverse, and curricula for the selected major begins the first year. About 30 percent of cadets major in civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering, about half the Corps majors in liberal arts fields, and the two most popular majors are economics/business and history. For five consecutive years, U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges,” has named VMI as the No. 1 public-supported liberal arts college in the nation, and ranked its engineering program in the top one-third of “Best Undergraduate” accredited programs at schools offering only bachelor’s and master’s degrees. In separate rankings for engineering specialties, VMI’s civil engineering program ranks ninth. VMI has been repeatedly included in Peterson’s “Competitive Colleges,” guide.

TWO UNDEFEATED TEAMS VMI has fielded two undefeated teams in its 114-year old football history. The1920 football squad, the "Flying Squadron" under coach Blandy Clarkson, is VMI's only undefeated and untied team. In 1920, VMI posted six shutouts on the year and tore through the likes of Virginia, North Carolina, and a highly rated Pennsylvania squad coached by the legendary John Heisman. The team outscored its opposition 431-20. The 1957 squad under Coach John McKenna went 9-0-1, captured the Southern Conference championship, and attained a ranking as high as 13th in the nation before finishing at 20th in the final Associated Press poll. The team was also extended an invitation to play in the Sun Bowl. Clarkson-McKenna Hall, the football building adjacent to Alumni Memorial Field, honors both coaches by bearing their names at the front entrance. The facility was dedicated in 1990.

Overall, four VMI athletes have been selected Rhodes Scholars including former VMI superintendent Josiah Bunting, III, a former swimmer from the class of 1963.

ockbridge County is located toward the south end of the Shenandoah Valley of RVirginia. The county takes its name from Natural Bridge, the massive stone formation that spans Cedar Creek in the southern part of the county. For centuries, this area has been a natural thoroughfare from the northeast to the richness of the lands west of the Appalachians. The Cherokee and Monacan Indian tribes lived in the area prior to its settlement by European colonists, which began in the 1730’s. Most of the settlers were Scotch-Irish and Germans, who migrated south from Pennsylvania in search of more land. Several large land grants, notably one to Benjamin Borden, stimulated settlement in the 1740’s. Grantees were required to induce a certain number of families to settle on the granted land. The Borden Grant, originally 100,000 acres, included most of present-day Rockbridge County. In 1777, Rockbridge County was estab- The city of Lexington, Va. is nationally renowned for its beauty and charm. lished, and the town of Lexington was founded as the county seat. A defining event occurred in 1782, when Liberty Hall Academy was moved from Augusta County to a site just west of Lexington. The school’s future was assured in 1796, when George Washington gave it $50,000 worth of James River Canal stock, at that time the largest such bequest to a college in the history of the new nation. The school was renamed Washington College in the general’s honor, and soon moved to its present location after the Liberty Hall building burned. The ruins of Liberty Hall can still be seen just north of Rt. 60 at the western edge of town. In 1839, the Virginia legislature established Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, in what had previously been a state arsenal.
