Student Sendoffs
Would you like to connect with other members of the Norwich family who live in your area to learn more about the Norwich experience?
Each year, Norwich Clubs across the country coordinate Student Sendoff events for incoming first-years, transfers, returning, and graduate students as well as parents. Ranging from backyard barbecues to clambakes, these social gatherings are a great opportunity to meet and ask questions of current students, parents, and alumni.
