New students, welcome to Norwich! Join us for a special event where you'll meet the Board of Fellows — a group of alumni and professionals dedicated to supporting your success. Receive your Norwich Coin, hear words of wisdom, and connect with people who are here to guide and support you throughout your Norwich experience and beyond.
As you begin your time at Norwich, it’s important to know you’re not alone. Behind the scenes, there’s a powerful group of professionals — including many Norwich alumni — who are here for one reason: to support you.
The Board of Fellows (BoF) is a volunteer group made up of experienced leaders across a wide range of fields. From business and engineering to military and public service, these individuals are committed to helping Norwich students succeed academically, professionally, and personally.
At this welcome event, you’ll:
- Be officially welcomed to Norwich by members of the Board of Fellows.
- Learn how this group can be a valuable resource to you throughout your time here — and after graduation.
- Receive your Norwich Coin, a meaningful tradition symbolizing your place in the Norwich community.
- Hear carefully chosen Words of Wisdom from the Commandant and Vice President of Student Affairs.
- Meet and connect with members of the BOF who want to mentor, guide, and support you — not just during your time at Norwich, but as you transition into your career.
Whether you're looking for guidance, career connections, or simply someone who’s been in your shoes, the Board of Fellows is here to help. We look forward to seeing you there — and to supporting you on your journey at Norwich and beyond.
