Celebrating athletes, and opportunities seized By Norwich University Athletics
Hockey players sweep Coach Mariano Award as outstanding senior athletes of 2021
Men’s hockey forward Felix Brassard and women’s hockey defenseman Samantha Benoit were named outstanding senior athletes of 2021 last week at a picnic in Andrews Hall.
President Dr. Mark Anarumo and Athletic Director Anthony Mariano hailed student-athletes and distributed awards at the April 29 picnic, which replaced a traditional awards dinner and had been scheduled for Sabine Field until rainy weather intervened.
Anarumo said he understood the hurt of having an athletics season scrubbed by the pandemic, partly because he saw his son Mark Jr. lose his senior season of Division III ice hockey at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Anarumo said his son’s team lost a chance to contend for a national title and his son lost a chance to visit Europe with the armed forces all-stars.

Images capture campus in motion amid coronavirus pandemic, coursing swiftly behind masks
Norwich University Staff Photographer Mark Collier has seen scores of students experience college day-to-day in his 7½ years on campus. He’s captured them in class, on the march, gathered for meals, readying for life’s coming steps. This year, as the university adjusted to the coronavirus pandemic and new health and safety protocols, Collier said he frequently saw resilience in students as they minded distance, washed hands and wore masks. Everyone, he said, seemed to adopt the U.S. Marine Corps mantra: adapt, improvise and overcome.
Students found their groove and their joy, he said, especially on a gray, drizzly August day. In a show of bonding, team building and ingenuity, a small group of Corps of Cadets upperclassmen laid tarps on a hill by the baseball field and used the rainfall as a lubricant for a makeshift Slip ’N Slide.

“CASA is so important to my position in my role. Without a CASA on the case the child is not adequately heard. It is extremely important that we hear the case from the child’s perspective in order to find what is in the best interest of the child,” said Juvenile Referee Anah Hewetson Gouty.
