After year of twists, Commencement brings moment of triumph May 04, 2021
After managing coronavirus pandemic and hybrid learning, Norwich University graduates about 447 students, many at on-campus ceremonies
Even if the chairs were spaced extra wide at Kreitzberg Arena and Shapiro Fieldhouse on Saturday, the U.S. flag was spread across the stage, the mortarboards and dress uniforms were on and there was enough joy and optimism to fill every sliver of space.
And even if the graduates, and their guests, were in masks, smiles wide and proud surely spread under them.
In-person Commencement was grit writ large against the coronavirus pandemic for Norwich University, which had to push last year’s ceremonies online after campus closed for infection curve flattening. President Dr. Mark Anarumo donned his Commencement finery, grand chapeau, flowing maroon robe, NU medallion and all, to lead his first commencement as president.

NORTHFIELD, Vt. Norwich University celebrated Commencement and Commissioning ceremonies on Saturday, May 1, in a hybrid of virtual streamed and in-person events held campus-wide in accordance with Vermont pandemic guidelines and with the Norwich community’s health and safety as the highest priority.
Norwich University was honored that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley gave the commencement address to the Class of 2021 in recorded remarks. Milley is the military’s senior-most ranking member and serves as principal adviser to President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III and the National Security Council.
All roads, virtual though they’ve sometimes been this year, have led here.
Commencement, Joint Commissioning and the White Coat Ceremony lie ahead this week, a trio of rites capping the 2020-21 academic year. Norwich University adapted to the coronavirus pandemic and went about its business, led by Dr. Mark Anarumo in his first year as president.
A pair of distinguished military speakers will deliver remarks for the Commencement, which will run at 9 a.m. and noon at Shapiro Fieldhouse and Kreitzberg Arena and Joint Commissioning, which will run at 3 p.m. on Sabine Field at Haynes Family Stadium.
