*Audience members should stand for the Academic Procession

Mission of the Virginia Military Institute The Virginia Military Institute believes that the measure of a college lies in the quality and performance of its graduates and their contributions to society.

Therefore, it is the mission of the Virginia Military Institute to produce educated and honorable men and women, prepared for the varied work of civil life, imbued with love of learning, confident in the functions and attitudes of leadership, possessing a high sense of public service, advocates of the American Democracy and free enterprise system, and ready as citizensoldiers to defend their country in time of national peril.

To accomplish this result, the Virginia Military Institute shall provide to qualified young men and women an undergraduate education of the highest quality – embracing engineering, science, and the arts – conducted in, and facilitated by, the unique VMI system of military discipline.

A Message for Guests in the Audience Commencement exercises are traditional celebrations – dignified and formal. The types of academic regalia displayed and much of the ritual in the ceremony date back to the first universities in medieval Europe. It is customary to rise at the following points in the program: * during the academic procession * during the playing of the National Anthem We ask the audience to refrain from entering the floor of the arena or from actions which would detract from the dignity of the commencement ceremonies. We also ask that you turn off cell phones or other electronic devices that may cause a disruption during the ceremony. Please remain in your seats until the Corps is dismissed. You may then congratulate the graduates.
