Wow! Has my life changed since we have e-mailed. I accepted a position at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI). As you know they are admitting women for the first time in history in September. I have a faculty appointment as Associate Professor. They needed someone who knows women’s health and physical fitness/training/conditioning. It was a great match. They are similar to the Citadel-however, they have studied the problems of the Citadel and the assimilation of women.
The funniest thing is I have a military rank of Lt. Colonel!? My friends can’t get over it–I will have to learn to salute–that won’t be too hard. However, learning how to salute without giggling will be!? I will be wearing a uniform (I have already wondered if I could change it a bit!! ha ha!).
What do you think?? I am excited–I will be very challenged, but I look forward to it.
