A virtual gala to hail gracious giving
Center for Civic Engagement holds Service, Learning and Leadership Recognition Celebration
Neither masks, nor distance, nor pandemic protocols would stop Norwich University’s volunteerism in 2020-21. Center for Civic Engagement Director Nicole DiDomenico said students’ perseverance showed gracious selflessness, and progress showed in April 15’s online meeting to celebrate it.
Spring 2020’s sudden campus shutdown to flatten the coronavirus infection curve scrubbed the Service, Learning and Leadership Recognition Celebration, a traditional in-person fete-and-feast. DiDomenico said she had neither time to plan nor enough digital experience to mount a virtual event.
But this year, DiDomenico and Assistant Director Abigail Joyal ’18, were ready. They honored 2021’s Civic Scholars students who received scholarship aid for 500 hours of service over four years and three students for honors earned in 2020.
