Norwich commissioned New York Times bestselling author Alex Kershaw to research and write the history of Norwich from its founding to today.
Citizens & Soldiers: The First 200 Years of Norwich University brings the university’s remarkable story to life in a beautifully written and illustrated book.
Two versions will be released at Homecoming 2018—a commemorative, limited edition, and a standard edition.

On Thursday, May 31, Norwich broke ground on one of the most significant projects commemorating our 200th anniversary—the Bicentennial Stairs. Beginning at the south east corner of the Upper Parade and continuing to the Sullivan Museum & History Center, each of the 78 granite steps will bear the name of an individual who has made a significant contribution to the history of the university over the past 100 years. Many of the honorees were in attendance at the groundbreaking ceremony. The ribbon cutting for the completed stairs will take place during Homecoming 2019.
