Arriving at VMI from South Hill, Virginia, Bill Paulette was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering in 1969. As a cadet, he balanced the demands of his academic and athletic interest skillfully lettering in both varsity football and baseball.
Paulette is founder and president of KBS, Inc. in Richmond, Virginia. KBS is among the largest general Contractors in the state of Virginia. He was also a founding board member of the Bank of Richmond, and served his profession and the Commonwealth as a board member of the Virginia State Board for Contractors. His sense of civic duty led him to chair the Henrico County Community Services Board and to serve on the Make-A-Wish Foundation Board.
The Institute has likewise benefited from Bill Paulette's commitment to the VMI system of education. As a member of the Board of Governors of the VMI Keydet Club and the VMI Board of Visitors, he has helped prepare the Institute for the 21st Century.
In March 2007, Paulette Hall was named in his honor.
