In Their Words

Teams Stay Connected

So over the break Swim team has been keeping in touch via social media. We have been keeping up with each other's lives outside of Norwich. It's been super fun seeing all my corps friends around in civic clothing. It's such a weird time with COVID and the Holiday season, because of this it's really great to see everyone with their friends and families being safe in the Pandemic. It's been really nice being home and getting in touch with all my friends still in high school and asking them about their college search without being able to visit. Norwich has always had a virtual tour and right now that's super helpful, but what's even better is talking to college students and really learn about what it's really like being on campus. Hope these posts help everyone know what it's like at Norwich. Happy Holidays and stay safe! Read more →

Rookdom isn't too bad except most of the time your super tired because of all we do. It's also more stressful when your release of... Read more →

Spooky Season

It's spooky season and with the beginning of October comes a new set of expectations from teachers and Corps life. We have made it almost halfway through the time we will be here on campus. Now everyone has kind of gotten into a routine of what to do day to day. With this new month comes the count down to Halloween. But before the spooky night happens we get parent family weekend. This year it's virtual which for me as a rook is hard because usually, you could get off campus leave. This year there will be no parents or family permitted on campus because of the pandemic, which is rough because during rookdom you tend to miss your family a little extra. Typically spooky season would also bring Regimental Ball, however, this event has been canceled because of COVID as well. Now us rooks only have Halloween to really... Read more →
