Welcome Class of ’71

If you can believe it, the time is drawing near to celebrate our 55th reunion. Norwich plans to host us on campus October 14-18, 2026. Our reunion committee is planning a special weekend, and we are excited and hopeful that you will come home to Norwich for this reunion.

You are an important part of our class. We cannot wait to celebrate with you and share memories of our time at Norwich. Those four years at school made us who we are today.
