Welcome Class of ’79
We are so excited to have you coming back to the Hill this fall. Come re-connect with your rook buddies and classmates and celebrate our 45th Reunion.
There are a lot of exciting things happening for the weekend. Dog River Run, Golf, watching the various sports teams compete, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity event with the Women Kicking Glass Gala. Our class was one of the first to welcome women to the Northfield Campus.
Please register for all the events you want to attend. (Registration opens July 1, 2024.)
And of course, this is a great time to give back to the Norwich Family. Make your reunion gift now so that we can meet our class goals. Wouldn’t it be great to get the highest participation rate of all the reunion classes this year?
Looking forward to seeing you all in September!!
Norwich Forever!
Rick Mullen, Rich Brooks, and Leigh Gammie
