Join us on November 7th and 8th for a fun and interactive overnight experience at Mary Baldwin University designed for students interested in both military and civilian career paths. During this special weekend, you’ll discover what makes MBU home to the Virginia Women’s Institute for Leadership (VWIL) — the nation’s only all-female cadet corps — and learn about exciting opportunities through our Army ROTC program and MBU Band.

Prospective students will stay overnight with current cadets, giving them an authentic look at life in the corps. You’ll participate in activities alongside VWIL cadets and ROTC students, tour campus, and connect with faculty and staff who support leadership development at every level. Along the way, you’ll also get to meet fellow prospective students who share your interest in service, leadership, and teamwork.

This immersive visit is the best way to experience how MBU combines strong academics with leadership training, military traditions, and a vibrant community where you can pursue a wide range of career goals.

This event is open to all students considering MBU and the VWIL or ROTC program for Spring or Fall, 2026, 2027 or 2028.
