LEXINGTON, Va., July 3, 2024—COW Student Field Trip Students in the 38th annual College Orientation Workshop (COW) visited the Lexington Fire Department last Saturday. The visit was one of the field trips for the month-long COW program that brings minority male high school students from across the country to Virginia Military Institute where they receive physical and safety training and take academic and character-building classes.
