Alumni Class Rings
The senior Class of 1923 started the Norwich ring tradition. Class members R. T. Wilson, F. II. Styles and E.F. Merchant drew up rules governing its use, one of the stipulations being that only a candidate for graduation will be allowed to wear it, and then only from Junior Week through the senior year.
Each lifestyle at Norwich now has its own version and history of the Norwich Ring. Learn more below:
Corps of Cadets Rings
The Norwich rings, like the service academy rings, feature a class crest on one side and the school crest on the other, with a bezel surrounding a stone or similar inset on top. Tradition dictates that the cadet wear the class crest facing him/her until graduation, when the ring is turned around so that the Norwich crest faces the wearer. This tradition links the wearer more closely to his/her class until graduation and to all the Norwich Corps graduates after graduation.
Civilian Class Ring
Each lifestyle at Norwich has its own version and history of the Norwich Ring.
CGCS Ring
A class ring specifically for CGCS students and alumni to be a treasured symbol of our experiences at Norwich.
Ring Centennial Bonds of Gold
In celebration of Norwich University Corps of Cadets’ 100-year ring tradition, we have established Bonds of Gold. This program invites alumni and their families to donate class rings back to Norwich. Rings will be melted down and mixed with new gold to forge class rings for the next generation of Norwich Cadets.
