Norwich University Opening New Facility in Denver, CO
Norwich University's College of Graduate and Continuing Studies (CGCS) announced the opening of a new office in downtown Denver in early 2020. The new location serves Norwich's four key initiatives to support the educational demands of the growing workforce in that region, which are to better serve adult learners in the Denver area, provide Colorado high school students and parents a location where they can learn more about Norwich's undergraduate degree programs available at the Northfield, VT campus, provide residential students in the Northfield, VT campus an opportunity to engage in internships in the Denver region, and to leverage Colorado's education transformation culture for Norwich's Partridge Model of Education-to-Workforce that connects students from high school to employment.
Located at 901 Auraria Parkway, the Norwich Denver office will officially open on March 25, 2020. The public is invited to an open house of new facility from 10:30am to noon on March 25. During this event, visitors can meet with support advisors to learn about Norwich's online and residential programs and receive a free credit transfer evaluation for the online bachelor's degree programs. The grand opening day will also feature a private event in the evening hosted by President Schneider and Norwich University Board of Trustees Chairman Alan DeForest '75, which will include an official ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The CGCS will continue to maintain an office on Norwich's Northfield, VT campus.
