NU Online Community Searchable Directory One of the most useful features of the NU OLC is the Online Directory, allowing any logged in, registered member to look up their friends and fellow alumni by several handy criteria: name, class year, major or SGS program. Best of all, we don't need to expose anyone's sensitive information. Folks can contact one another directly through the system, without either having to either know someone else's email, or to have their email displayed in order to be contacted. If we have an email on file for you, an envelope icon is present next to your name, signifying that you can be emailed. Best of all, the most current info we have for you is always connected to that envelope, so whenever we have updates, such as new email addresses, it doesn't have to be updated in multiple places, it will always be automatically the default address available. BONUS Tip: In order to make a quick complete emailable list, you can compile these folks into your Friends List, which can be emailed all together or sent a "note"  right through the OLC!

 

Have your cake and eat it too: Secure a guaranteed fixed income rate with a charitable gift annuity from Norwich By establishing a charitable gift annuity you make an irrevocable gift to Norwich in exchange for a current tax deduction for a portion of the gift and a guaranteed fixed income stream for life. In the current investment environment the gift annuity rates are very competitive and lock in a guaranteed return for life. For details and current rates, visit the Online Community at www.alumni.norwich.edu/ fixedrate

CHARITABLE IRA ROLLOVER LAW RENEWED! The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 renewed the provision to allow individuals to make charitable contributions tax-free using retirement assets. This legislation replaced the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and will allow tax-free contributions of up to $100,000 per year for individuals aged 70 ½ and older. For more information please contact Priscilla Gilbert, Director of Planned Giving at (802) 485-2301 or pgilbert@norwich.edu or visit www.alumni.norwich.edu/ charitableIRA.

Take advantage of your employer's matching gift program So you've just dropped a gift to Norwich into the mail and now you're considering which item to tackle next on your to-do list - mowing the yard or washing your car. Before moving on to that chore, take a moment to learn if your employer operates a matching gift program. If it does, you may be able to double your gift to the University. Continued at www.alumni.norwich.edu/ matchinggifts

Lacrosse game brings students, alumni together Thirty-seven alumni and current players competed in the sixth annual Brendan T. MacDonald '06 Memorial Alumni Lacrosse Game on Sunday, April 26. Divided into Maroon and Gold sides according to odd and even class years, the two teams battled it out for the better part of 60 minutes. Bob MacDonald P'06 served as the honorary coach for the victorious Gold team, who prevailed over the Maroon 12-10. After the game, players, fans and family members gathered at the Rustic Sports Bar to celebrate their shared love of lacrosse. A more complete story and photos of the game and post-game celebration can be found on the NU Online Community at www.alumni.norwich.edu/alumnilax09.

NU students gain practical experience through DoD Like most college students, the thought of an internship where he collated copies and fetched coffee was enough to make Michael Zalewski want to explode -- or at least vent. But thanks to a series of student experience programs sponsored by the Department of Defense, the Norwich senior gained pragmatic engineering experience doing both: exploding and venting.

Campaign slogans don't make for good criminal justice "Lock 'em up and throw away the key" might be an effective campaign slogan, but it's no way to administer justice, according to Donald Williams, a former prison program administrator and 2006 graduate of the master of justice administration (MJA) program at Norwich University. Williams has studied incarceration rates for more than 10 years, going back to when he was an administrator for the U.S. Justice Department's Bureau of Prisons.
