Alumni Association
Mission
The Norwich University Alumni Association (NUAA) promotes the Norwich experience and the bond that exists between the university and its alumni. The NUAA champions the vision, guiding values, principles and traditions of Norwich to build camaraderie, commitment, and lifelong relationships.
Vision
The NUAA is committed to creating a unified, informed, and proud body of alumni that is involved and committed to the interests and activities that perpetuate Norwich University and the Norwich family.
General
The NUAA was founded in 1852, and is one of the oldest collegiate Alumni Associations in the nation. It represents the largest of the university's constituencies: Norwich alumni past and present from both the graduate and undergraduate programs. NUAA programs foster the connection between alumni and their alma mater, and with each other. These programs include the annual Homecoming Weekend, the NU Club network, the Legacy of Learning continuing education series, networking and social events, and professional development opportunities. Norwich graduates automatically become lifetime members of the Association and are encouraged to participate in all alumni activities. For additional information about the NUAA, visit www.alumni.norwich.edu/nuaa.

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees at Norwich is an active group that serves not only as an overseer of the University, but also sets the policies that will steer and guide Norwich into the future. Trustees are both alumni and non-alumni; military, business and educational leaders. Their unique life experiences enable them to set the vision by which to form the military and civilian leaders of tomorrow.
