Dr. Gallant awarded The ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award®

Norwich University is very pleased to share that Dr. Sarah Gallant has been selected as the 2025 recipient of the Homer L. Dodge Award. 

This prestigious teaching award is given every two years and is a testament to her dedication to teaching excellence. Dr. Gallant’s work on revising the General Chemistry curriculum, involvement in the Inclusive STEM Teaching Project, active support of the Vermont Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Fair as well as the International Science Fair, service as an advisor to the Norwich University Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society, and mentorship of many students’ research demonstrates her deep commitment to educating students at all levels. 

The letters of support from her students say it best when they describe her as a “selfless educator… with a joyful love of… both chemistry and her students.” Norwich University is very grateful to have her on our faculty and sincerely thank her for everything she does for our students! 

Dr. Gallant will give the address at the fall Convocation ceremony. We look forward to hearing her remarks at that event.

As Susmann prepares to retire this December, his impact stretches from education and innovation to cyber readiness and national security. In this Q&A, Blaise spoke with Susmann about his decades of service, the evolution of NUARI, and what lies ahead for both him and the institution he helped shape.
