Question of the Month:
In the past three years, Norwich students have witnessed many significant world events: the 2003 Iraq War, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Gulf hurricane, and, for Roman Catholics, the death of Pope John Paul II. Thinking back on your time at Norwich, what events do you remember most vividly, and how did they affect you and your classmates? Answers may be published in the next edition of @NU.
Please send your reply to: pubrel@norwich.edu.
Thank you to those who e-mailed responses to our question about what Norwich traditions should or shouldn't be part of our students' experience. We are pleased to publish them here. |
