During the 2023-24 academic year, four senior Norwich University engineering students combined their skills to build a prototype joystick for a client with cerebral palsy. Mechanical Engineering majors Tanner Buckelew, Helena Robinson, and Sebastian Mowbray teamed up with Interdisciplinary Engineering major Andrew Wade for this successful project.

Norwich University has strived to provide practical and experiential learning to its students since its founding. That centuries-old tradition continues today as a pair of Norwich cadets traveled to the Republic of Kosovo, where they attended International Cadets Week hosted by the Center for University Studies – Kosovo Defense Academy.

Norwich University is proud to announce the upcoming annual Master’s Hooding, Commencement, and Commissioning Ceremonies on Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27. This year, Norwich University will proudly inaugurate more than 920 graduates into the next stage of their professional journeys.

On April 19, Norwich will recognize the senior cadet class for their service and contributions to our university and beyond and promote the new cadet chain of command for the 2024-2025 academic year. We invite Norwich and local communities to attend either in-person or virtually.

The forum brings civilian youth together with officer cadets to explore the role of our militaries in the peace-making, peace building, and peace-sustaining activities.

The annual spring Corps of Cadets award ceremony honors students from U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard for their leadership, academics, and athletic achievements. Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Weimer was the much-anticipated keynote speaker.

The day provided opportunities for multiple student meetings, a presentation by LTG Barrett about the ongoing mission of US Army Cyber Command, and informational sessions focused on the current innovative work being done in several critical fields by both Norwich faculty and staff.

During the recent National Meeting in San Diego, California, the University’s club earned the honor and is now poised to lead 145 Silver Wings Clubs from the various Air Force ROTC detachments across the country.

Out of 80 participating teams, the Norwich University Alpha Team placed first in the Team ROTC Heavy Division and third overall with a time of 5:14 hr.
