By NU Office of Communications

The annual New Student Oath Ceremony for the incoming class of civilians and rooks was held on Sunday, August 27.

2023 Oath Ceremony

Norwich Together, Norwich Forever.

The Oath Ceremony is long-standing Norwich tradition in which civilians and rooks promised to accept, uphold, and apply the principles of Norwich’s honor code and guiding values, ending their oath with, “In all my endeavors, from this day forth, I will reflect in the spirit of the Norwich motto, ‘I will try.’”

The slides below showcase just some of captured photos from the office of communications staff taken during Sunday's New Student Oath Ceremony.
