Hello Class of ’81
It is hard to believe it’s been 45 years since we graduated and went our separate paths. It’s time to come back to the Hill to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate our reunion during Homecoming, October 14-16. Norwich helped shape who we are—and this reunion is our chance to celebrate those shared experiences and the paths we’ve taken since.
Registration will open on July 1. Mark your calendar now and make your lodging reservations soon as homecoming takes place during Vermont’s peak foliage this year. Our Saturday night class dinner will be at Sugarbush Resort. Book a room at Sugarbush.
Norwich gave us more than a degree; it gave us the tools and confidence we needed to succeed in life. Now, it is our turn to ensure that the next generation has the same opportunity. We have set a class fundraising goal of $511,000 and 50% participation. Donations can be made to The Norwich Fund, supporting the University’s most pressing needs and making sure Norwich is Forever, or the fund of your choice. See the link below to get started.
From long-overdue conversations with classmates and cheering on our athletic teams, to walking the Hill and revisiting Homecoming traditions, this weekend will be filled with time to reconnect and recall the experiences that made our time at Norwich unforgettable.
We hope to see you in October!
