Hello to all ’86ers!

The bonds we forged at Norwich are a permanent part of our lives, connecting us no matter where we are in this world. Norwich is home and all of us are Norwich family. Homecoming (October 14-18) is a great way to reconnect with classmates, teammates, and old friends.

If you have not attended reunions in the past, please join us for our 40th! Being back on The Hill will bring memories forward to laugh, remember, and renew. You can tour the campus and regale in past glories. The University has changed and you will be impressed.

Homecoming Dates:  Registration is open here—and see the calendar of events here. This year’s homecoming takes place during Vermont’s peak foliage so be sure to make your lodging reservations soon. Our Saturday night class dinner will be at Sugarbush Resort.

Book a room at Sugarbush. Or view other area accommodations here.

Class Uniform: The Class of ’86 March-on uniform is a Cutter & Buck Soft Shell Jacket available in both men’s and women’s sizes. Order yours by September 8 and have it delivered directly to your house in time for Homecoming.

Give back: The Class of 1986 fundraising goal is to raise $1,000,000 with at least 40% participation. Currently (late August), we have raised $734,287.00 with a participation of 25.25%. With your help, we will get there! Our fundraising focuses on the following three priorities: 1. Norwich University Peace & War Center, Experiential Learning; 2. The Norwich Fund; 3. The Class of 1986 Scholarship. See more in the Class Gift section below!

Help us establish an endowment for the Norwich University Peace & War Center, Experiential Learning for hands-on leadership experiences that address the world’s most pressing geopolitical challenges. There are are also options to donate to the Class of 1986 Scholarship and The Norwich Fund.

Two generous classmates, Bill Mooney & Phil Baumann, have each offered to match gifts toward the Peace & War Center endowment, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 each! This means that every $1 you donate or pledge equal $3 toward the endowment! 

Sincere thanks to Bill & Phil! Make Your Class Gift Here.
