The outgoing regimental commander, C/COL Henry Dennee ’24, will provide remarks, then formally pass the Norwich colors to the incoming regimental commander, C/COL Sophia Righthouse ’25, who also will deliver remarks, then lead the Corps of Cadets in review. 

The reviewing officer is Alan DeForest ‘75, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. In addition, as members of our official party, we will honor several Norwich Trustees who completed their terms in recognition of their professional expertise, valued leadership, time, and volunteer service to Norwich.
