Women Kicking Glass
2024 was a year-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first women to live on the Northfield campus and the first in the NU Corps of Cadets—a full two years prior to the federal service academies.
This significant milestone in Norwich’s history was marked with events, exhibits, dedications and educational opportunities recognizing trailblazing women, alumnae accomplishments, and significant NU ‘firsts’. The initiative raised more than $300,000 to launch the Women Kicking Glass Scholarship.
