Campus tours
The guided campus tour is for the parents, siblings and participants of the engineering showcase.
Representatives from our student ambassador club, Maroon and Gold Key, will take you on a guided tour of the Norwich campus. You will see the new Wise Campus Center, our athletic facilities, dormitories (including a typical room), our library, and other campus highlights as time permits.
Our Maroon and Gold Key guides are here to answer your questions about student life, current events on campus and their experiences here at Norwich. These guides are the students who would host your son or daughter if they chose to schedule an overnight visit.

Hands–on activities (for students)
The Engineering Division has a new and exciting way of getting you to learn about the campus and use a little brainpower in the meantime. This is not your typical open house; there will be several hands-on activities for you. Yes, this is a competition! The one with the highest score wins a $5000 NU Engineering Showcase Scholarship. We can’t say too much; we don’t want to give any hints.
Engineering student panel (for parents)
The parents will meet with a student panel consisting of current Norwich students, each of whom will bring their very diverse backgrounds to the table to answer questions that parents may have. The panel of students will include engineering students that are members in the Corps of Cadets, varsity Athletes, and female-civilian students to name a few.
Tour of engineering facility
The parents and students will meet back up to start the tour of the Engineering Facilities. Professors and students will be available during this time for questions.
