”Finding Abundance in Structure” with Kate Taylor, ’24 

Kate Taylor, VMI Class of 2024 is a civil engineering major and member of the VMI Swim and Dive Club.
Kate Taylor’s journey at VMI was not without its challenges. Like many cadets, she initially found the structured environment intimidating. However, she quickly realized that this structure was beneficial in helping her to develop her own voice and sense of purpose. Through her involvement in the Cadets’ Superintendent’s Advisory Board, she explored new ideas and collaborated with other cadets on projects that positively impacted the VMI community.
Taylor’s story is an inspiring reminder of the power of perseverance and the importance of finding your own path, even amid challenging circumstances. If you listen all the way to the end of this episode, you’ll hear about a ‘Corps moment’ from her rat year that inspired her to seek an Army commission.
