The Norwich University Alumni Association and the Alumni Office are pleased to announce the third Volunteer Summit for volunteer leaders on May 2-3, 2008. We kickoff on Friday, May 2 at 1:30 with a welcome reception and conclude on Saturday, May 3, at 4:00 pm with an event at the Sullivan Museum and History Center. In between there will be informative campus updates, learning opportunities and a chance to meet your staff liaisons and fellow volunteers.
This is a great opportunity to come back to campus and meet other volunteer leaders, NU Alumni Association Board Members, key staff and administrators. During this two-day event you will learn about what’s happening on the front lines at Norwich, gain valuable event planning knowledge from the experts and have the opportunity to visit campus.

- Class Agent or Volunteer

There will be special breakout sessions geared toward each of these groups. Come meet other volunteers and pick up some great tips!
