In order that our dedicated staff may enjoy the holidays with their families, the University will close on Friday, December 23, and reopen on Monday, January 2, 2006.
As the year 2005 winds down, it is a good time to reflect on some of the more notable Norwich accomplishments of the past 12 months, including our Regimental Band marching in the President's Inaugural Parade, our drill team placing second in the National Championships, the launching of our new University and Athletics Logos, and the announcement of the new Norwich Forever! Capital Campaign.
Please share with me in taking pride in all our school has accomplished in 2005, and in looking forward to an equally outstanding 2006.
Norwich Forever!
Richard Schneider, Ph.D.
