Faculty Senate

The Faculty Senate of Norwich University is the sole governance body of the faculty. Its purview includes, but is not limited to, curriculum, academic standards, policies and procedures, and any other matters that affect institutional decision-making, goal-setting, and resource allocation. The Faculty Senate and its Bylaws in no way abrogate the authority of the President of the University or the authority and purview of the Trustees of the University as established in the Board of Trustees’ Articles of Association and Bylaws.

Staff Council

The Staff Council is charged with properly representing the various University staff constituencies and assuring that staff issues and advice are considered in the institutional decision-making process.


Student Government Association

The Student Government Association strives to maintain a positive relationship between the student body and the administration by serving as a hub for communication and the source of problem-solving efforts for issues plaguing daily life.
