Your Norwich Family Is Looking Out For You

Facebook Mosaic _ Covid-19 related photosEven though many activities have been canceled or postponed, and physical distancing is the new normal, the Norwich family is far from dormant. Many are working on the frontlines in health care, law enforcement and disaster relief. Some are sewing face masks for local hospitals or volunteering to stock food pantries. Some are doing this important work far from the confines of Norwich and the Hill.

The leadership and selfless service of Norwich students, alumni, faculty and staff in these challenging times proves that the essence of our university isn’t the physical space. It’s the people.

Our alumni, students and parents remain at the core of all we do. Over the next several weeks on this page we will share information and a range of digital resources that we hope will inspire you and deepen your connection to Norwich and each other.

Help welcome the Class of 2024

If you are willing to make calls to students in your area, email us at alumni@norwich.edu.

Record a video message for prospective students
Digital and social media outreach has become an important tool for connecting with our prospective students--and even more so at this time. We’re inviting alumni to create short videos about what the motto “I Will Try” means to them. Interested in participating? Email nunews@norwich.edu for more details.

Donate to the Schneider Legacy Project
Jaime & President Richard SchneiderNorwich students are hardworking. Their families are small business owners, teachers, first responders, nurses, contractors or serve in the military. With layoffs and business shutdowns, a high percentage of Norwich students and their families will face serious financial challenges in the months ahead. To help keep our students in school we will need to offer more scholarships this fall.

You can make the biggest impact on Norwich students by supporting the Schneider Legacy Project. Gifts to this fund will benefit the Richard and Jaime Schneider Scholarship and the Norwich Fund to increase the financial aid available in Fall 2020 and give Norwich the flexibility to address the immediate needs of our students over the coming months.
