The Board of Trustees at Norwich is an active group that serves not only as an overseer of the University, but also as a participant in decision-making and policy-making process, steering and guiding Norwich into the future.

The Board of Trustees consists of 28 men and women, each of whom brings a unique life experience to the University. Trustees are alumni and non-alumni; military, business and educational leaders. Their experiences help the University leadership to develop the best academic programs, experiential learning opportunities and operational processes by which to form the military and civilian leaders of tomorrow. The Board divides itself into a number of committees, aligned with the major operating officers of the university, to focus on select areas of the University for careful study.
