By Ryan Shepard Apr 16, 2021 The Virginia Military Institute has found the right man to lead the institution through a turbulent time. After being named interim superintendent last fall, retired Major General Cedric T. Wins has taken the leap to become the institution's full-time superintendent. With this hire, Wins becomes the first Black superintendent in the school's history. “Maj. Gen. Wins has distinguished himself as a leader whose dedication to the Institute’s mission and to the Corps of Cadets has endeared him to many during his brief time as interim superintendent,” VMI Board of Visitors President John William Boland said.
