When the Going Gets Tough, Control What You Can with Sam Trepp ’20

On this remote podcast episode, we talked with Sam Trepp, VMI Class of 2020's class president. He discusses his unique leader journey which started with his initial decision to attend the University of Richmond. Remaining close to a buddy of his who was attending VMI, he decided to transfer to VMI sight-unseen and says it was the best decision he ever made. Said Trepp, it felt like home. During his time at VMI, he experienced personal growth as a result of his experiences through the VMI system but is careful to say that the school's tagline 'No Ordinary College' doesn't mean that his path to graduation and leadership was better than the path others follow, but was a good fit for him. Hear more about his leadership journey as class president, the impact of mentors he met on post, and how he completed his First Class (senior) year.
