For steady care and pandemic bravery, a hat tip to nurses
American Association of Colleges of Nursing includes Norwich images in video marking National Nurses Week
As President Dr. Mark Anarumo has said, nurses played a big role in helping Norwich mitigate the coronavirus pandemic during academic year 2020-21. Nursing staff and students, directed by Nursing Director Paulette Thabault and Center for Civic Engagement Director Nicole DiDomenico, kept the Plumley Armory COVID-19 testing center running, administering more than 28,000 tests in the spring semester alone.
The American Nurses Association and American Association of Colleges of Nursing are hailing nurses with National Nurses Day, which was Thursday, and National Nurses Week, which runs through May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. (Nightingale (1820-1910) transformed nursing by setting hospital sanitation standards, establishing a laundry to get patients clean linens and creating an “invalid’s kitchen” to

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.

In a site for testing soils, a legacy takes root April 27, 2021
Professor Donald Wallace, Norwich faculty member for 55 years, honored with naming of Juckett Hall engineering lab
Don Wallace’s reputation preceded him, and succeeded him. The mechanical engineering professor spent 55 years teaching at Norwich University, long enough to coach students who’d meet, wed and send more students his way (their children), sometimes twice over. All who entered Wallace’s classroom abandoned hope of an easy ride; he was exacting.
But as President Dr. Mark Anarumo and Wallace’s colleagues related last month, Wallace was tough out of love and wisdom. He knew the world was taxing and wanted his students, whether they became engineers or not, to handle it and thrive. When he died in November 2018, Wallace left not only a crowd of grateful graduates, but a legacy. He donated $3 million to the university’s David Crawford School of Engineering for lab upgrades and other nee
