Can you believe it?! We are inching closer and closer to the mother of all muster formations this coming fall.

A weekend for us to celebrate our time together from 1971 – 1975 at the school that built us during our formative years while on campus.

Norwich University, Queen of the hills and mountains of green, plans to roll out the red carpet and host the Class of 1975 this September 18-21, 2025. You are a very important part of our class and a key contributor to the success of our “Big 5-0” celebration. Your reunion committee is planning a special weekend and we are hopeful that you will come back to NU for this milestone reunion.  

Most importantly, it is a time to reflect on the 4 years of trials and tribulations that we all experienced together from 1971 to 1975.  I think you will all agree that since graduation not a day passes that we recall some classroom or campus event that has imparted an indelible positive aspect on our life and career.  We owe this inspiration to our alma mater.  Those four years at Norwich made us who we are today.  The words “Norwich Forever” are not just the beginning to our school’s anthem, it’s our commitment to its future. Now is the time to help pay it forward for ongoing Norwich generations by helping to endow our Class of 1975 gift, the “Reach Beyond Grasp” scholarship.

Whether you have been a frequent visitor over the years to the Hill or not, please plan to come back and share in our 50 years as newly minted “Old Guard” alumni. We cannot wait to celebrate with you and share many memories of our time at Norwich; memories that fade not through the changing years.

We look forward to seeing you this September when we will laugh often and much, reminisce from Rook Week to graduation day with Bob Hope, and celebrate life with our spouses, family, and friends as best we know how. Safe travels to the Green Mountain State...
