John Rosemond will address the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets on March 31.

His presentation is part of the Leaders in Action lecture series hosted each term by the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets and the Maj. Gen. W. Thomas Rice Center for Leader Development. It will start at 3:30 p.m. in the Graduate Life Center at Donaldson Brown Auditorium on the Blacksburg campus and is open to the public. No tickets are required.

Rosemond is a family psychologist, licensed in North Carolina; a nationally syndicated columnist; author; husband; parent; and grandparent. Currently, he is syndicated in approximately 225 newspapers nationwide, including The Roanoke Times. He has written 11 best-selling parenting books.

Deputy Commandant of Cadets for 2nd Battalion Capt. Jim Snyder, U.S. Navy retired, explains why Rosemond was invited to speak to the corps, “Several members of the commandant's staff monitor his weekly column in The Roanoke Times and repeatedly comment on the applicability of his insights on parenting and what we do in our structured, military-styled leader development program for college men and women. I firmly believe a presentation of his tenets of discipline, upholding standards, accountability and personal achievement would make a significant contribution to the cadets' leader development.”
