Mission Statement

The Title IX Office’s mission is to empower and support the Norwich community in advancing a climate of gender equity and inclusion through educating all campus community members on how to prevent, identify, and report sexual and gender-based misconduct, providing those affected by such misconduct with supportive services and resolution options, conducting fair and equitable investigations, and using evidence-based and community-informed prevention efforts.

It’s up to each of us to create a healthy campus free of sex based discrimination. This website provides tools and resources that can help us ensure a safe and respectful campus.

Notice of Non-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment and Non-Retaliation

Norwich University is committed to creating and maintaining a community in which all persons who participate in university programs and activities can work and/or learn together in an atmosphere free of sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking, and discrimination.

The university does not tolerate such forms of misconduct. It is the intention of the university to take prompt and equitable action to prevent the recurrence of behaviors that violate this policy. Norwich also prohibits retaliation against any person opposing sexual or gender-based misconduct or participating in any sexual and gender-based discrimination investigation or complaint process internal or external to the institution. Sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking are forms of sex discrimination, which are prohibited under Title IX and by Norwich policy. Any person may report sex discrimination (whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to have experienced the conduct), in person, by mail, by telephone, by video, or by email, using the contact information listed for the Title IX Coordinator (below) or via the reporting form. A report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours).
