It may be hard to believe but our 50th Class Reunion is upon us. We are in the last hours of preparations for the big event. It is also hard to believe we will be inducted into the Old Guard and reminisce about the great times we had on the Hill together. After four years of planning, it is finally show time.
To make sure we all are at the right place at the correct time, I have put the key times, places and events that are must-dos. Remember Norwich is a military college and on time is at least 5 minutes early. Parking and transportation around campus (golf carts) will be at a premium, even with our special parking area and for those who have handicap placards. So, plan on getting to Norwich early for all events.
So here are the key takeaways:
• Class Uniform: White shirt and Khakis
• See Livestream schedule here.
• Parking: Old Guard, Class of 1973, all general parking is available behind Shapiro Fieldhouse.
• Disability-accessible parking Vehicles displaying an official disability placard will have access to the parking behind Plumley Armory and in Lot F on Friday and Saturday.
. • Golf Cart Service Golf carts will be circulating campus on Friday and Saturday to assist those with mobility issues. The university is unable to designate carts for individual use.
