Little Moments - Big Leadership Lessons with Whitney Edwards-Roberson ’22

We caught up with Whitney Roberson in the PX to chat about her VMI leader journey. Whitney is a history major from Chesapeake, VA. She is the captain of the women’s soccer team, president of the Promaji club, an investigator for the CEA (Cadet Equity Association), and the vice president of SAAC (Student Athletic Advisory Committee).

In this episode, we discussed how her views on leadership have changed since the Rat Line and how VMI has prepared her to lead in diverse settings. She talked about the ‘little moments’ that change you and teach you how to lead.
