"...Women’s Leadership Challenge Weekend was the main reason I chose Norwich University over any other military college. This event truly inspired me and made a significant impact on my decision. The experience was so empowering and transformative that it solidified my choice to attend Norwich.

Norwich was the only military college I visited where everyone was genuinely kind and welcoming. Every person I met had a smile on their face and took the time to talk to me about the school...This supportive and positive environment made me feel like I was already part of the Norwich family, and I knew it was the right place for me." — Madison
