How did your experience at Norwich help prepare you for your career? Norwich taught me to persevere, things are not always going to work out. It is necessary, more often then not, to be persistent, determined and never quit!

Why did you choose to become an Admissions Ambassador? I wanted to meet perspective new students and help them feel the camaraderie and great sense of belonging to something bigger then yourself you get a Norwich. Norwich is place where some folks that had to "work at it" could go be recognized.

What is your favorite part of volunteering? I enjoy working with the students and admissions reps. Giving the kids a "leg up" is very satisfying. When I do a college fair or work with the admissions office I learn so much about how Norwich does go out of its way to help its students. One can't help but be impressed with the admissions and administartions efforts.
