VMI Biology Department

VMI Biology Department The biology department at VMI provides a focused education in the biological sciences.

We prepare students for post-graduate education in the biological and health fields and allow for specialization that matches their interests and career plans. Faculty believe interactions in the classroom, laboratory, and on an individual basis are critical in the development of successful biology majors. Class sizes are small, laboratories accompany most courses, advising is conducted on an indi

vidual basis, and undergraduate research is encouraged. You can find more recent photos from around the department on Flickr:

Congratulations LTC Mary Beth Manjerovic on completing the year long Emerging Leaders training through the VMI Center for VMI Center For Leadership and Ethics.

Emerging Leaders concluded the academic year with a final session featuring Brig. Gen. Robert Moreschi, deputy superintendent for academics and dean of the faculty.

This professional development program gives VMI faculty and staff the opportunity to strengthen communication, decision-making, coaching, and leadership skills within the VMI culture. Their growth supports not only their departments, but also the cadets they serve and lead by example.

Congratulations to this year’s cohort on a strong finish.
