Homecoming 2026, Celebrating 207 Years of Service to the Nation

Dear Norwich Alumni,

What an incredible Homecoming weekend! On behalf of Norwich University and the Norwich University Alumni Association (NUAA), thank you to everyone who returned to the Hill, volunteered, or joined us in spirit as we celebrated 207 Years of Service to Our Nation in recognition of America's 250th anniversary.

Homecoming celebrates the friendships, traditions, and lifelong connections that define the Norwich family. Whether reconnecting with classmates, celebrating milestones, or engaging with today's students, you help sustain the Norwich spirit.

Throughout the weekend, University leadership emphasized Norwich's continued progress and momentum. Under the Provost's leadership, academic programs are being aligned for the future, while the exceptional morale, enthusiasm, and pride of our students reflect the strength and promise of our university.

Our alumni are among Norwich's greatest strengths. Alumni Relations and the NUAA remain committed to listening, strengthening communication, and expanding engagement opportunities. Through alumni clubs, events, mentorship, and volunteer programs, our mission is to build camaraderie, foster lifelong relationships, and bring our alumni home.

We encourage you to carry the Homecoming spirit forward through continued engagement and traditions like Legacy Days, honoring our past while investing in future generations and strengthening the bonds that unite our Norwich community.

To our alumni, volunteers, and everyone who made Homecoming 2026 memorable, thank you. Your dedication and commitment make Norwich extraordinary.

Homecoming may have concluded, but our connection to the Hill continues every day. We look forward to welcoming you home again soon.

Norwich Forever!
