Students were particularly engaged as Mohamed discussed scholarship opportunities and the benefits of joining the Corps, emphasizing the leadership skills and camaraderie that cadets develop. His firsthand account of life at Virginia Tech resonated with the audience, inspiring them to consider future opportunities in higher education and military service.
