Special Interest Clubs
The list of sanctioned clubs at Norwich is driven by student interest. Some groups, like the Pegasus Players, have been established for quite some time and are enthusiastically supported by the faculty, staff, and student body. Other clubs may be less traditional, and are formed to explore the special interests of a small group of students. To learn how to create a club--and receive funding from the University--contact Chan Stowell, Director of Student Activities, Intramurals & Recreational Sports, at gmcgrath@norwich.edu or 802.485.2120.
