Woongchan Oh 鈥�25 had considered a military path during high school. But it was a soccer scholarship to 麻豆女演员 Institute that solidified his decision.

鈥淭he opportunity to continue both my academic and athletic career ultimately led me to choose VMI,鈥� he explained.

Balancing academics, athletics, and military training has been a continual challenge for him and has encouraged him to step outside his comfort zone. VMI has shaped him into a more adaptable and confident individual, one who is ready to take on any future challenges with determination, he admitted.

鈥淢y experience at VMI has been unique compared to other cadets. I sought out every opportunity available to me, and I took full advantage of them,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 played NCAA soccer for all four years while balancing my engineering degree. In addition to my academic and athletic commitments, I enlisted in the Army as a combat engineer, studied abroad at Korea University, conducted summer research, and completed a summer internship with the Virginia Department of Transportation. None of this would have been possible without the support of my friends, faculty, and VMI alumni. I am always thankful for them and grateful for the opportunities I have had.鈥�

Additionally, the strong network of alumni, faculty, and friends who have supported me throughout my journey will continue to be a valuable resource as I move forward.鈥�

He said he鈥檚 proud to be from VMI and revels in the fact that he has experienced the same school life as generations before him.

鈥淚n today’s world, fewer young people are willing to challenge themselves or embrace pressure and stressful situations. I am grateful that I chose a different path that pushed me beyond my comfort zone,鈥� he said. 鈥淰MI, like any other place, does not guarantee success, but I can assure you that everyone in the VMI community wants you to succeed. They will guide and support you along the way. With an open mind and determination, you will find countless opportunities to grow and excel.鈥�
