Some students are heading back to school earlier this fall, though not many will be in uniform.

Freshman women participating in the Virginia Women's Institute of Leadership at Mary Baldwin College moved onto campus Tuesday.

According to VWIL officials, about 65 new cadets were expected to join the corps. It's their biggest cadet enrollment ever.

Brig. Gen. Mike Bissell hopes to have more than 200 women in the program by 2010.

Bissell says, "We went out this year for the first time in 15 years, and started going out and talking to schools, really advertising and getting coverage, and the product is here."

Bissell says the program is starting to attract and enroll women from all over the world.
