Sullivan Museum offers Portrait Painting Program
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University’s Sullivan Museum and History Center will present a program on portrait painting on Wednesday, June 16 at 6:30 p.m. to include dessert and discussion.
Two local artists will present their thoughts on portrait painting during this free event: Tom Clifford will discuss how he conducted research for a portrait of Jane Austen (a sitter who is deceased) and Phyllis Higgins will share how she works on a portrait of a living person.
Clifford received his art education in London, England and won a scholarship from the Heatherley Art Foundation in England for over 25 years. He now works at and teaches from his Northfield studio.
Higgins received her degree in art and art education at Skidmore College and has taught art in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. She was commissioned to paint several portraits by Norwich University and has just finished a portrait to hang in the recently constructed Wise Campus Center.
Portraits are currently featured in an exhibit which contains over 14 faces of Norwich University’s faculty, students, and administrators. Presented in a “face-to-face” style, visitors get to meet a person during a certain period of their life and also get to know something about the artist who portrayed them.
The program is free and open to the public and the SMHC is wheelchair accessible. Refreshments will be served prior to the program in the Museum Rotunda. The exhibition will be on view at the Museum through August 2010. Call the SMHC at 802-485-2448 or 2379 for more information or directions.

Sullivan Museum to host descendants of Buffalo Soldiers
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University’s Sullivan Museum and History Center (SMHC) will host two “dessert and discussion” evening programs this month in which descendants of the Buffalo Soldiers will present the stories of their ancestors.
On Wednesday, June 23, at 6:30 p.m. Michelle Graveline-Welch, the great granddaughter of a 10th Cavalry Buffalo Soldier, John Ralph Lyons, will present the amazing story of the Buffalo Soldiers at Ft. Ethan Allen.
And on Wednesday, June 30, at 6:30 p.m. descendants Sharon and Bee McCollum, will share stories of the Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont and what it meant to be black in Vermont during the early 20th century.
“These two programs offer the rare opportunity to learn about these remarkable Buffalo Soldiers from their descendants, their great granddaughters, who are sharing the stories of their amazing ancestors with insight and personal historical perspective,” said Director Marilyn Solvay.
These programs are presented in conjunction with SMHC’s special exhibition on the Buffalo Soldiers.
The current special exhibit presents a glimpse of the two cavalry regiments of African American enlisted men, the 9th and 10th, which were authorized by Congress in 1866.
The Buffalo Soldiers, named by the Native Americans for their well-honed fighting skills, were called upon for some of the most dangerous duties including escorting stage coaches and wagon trains, assisting railroad crews, installing military posts, roads or telegraph lines, and surveying large areas of unexplored land. They took part in the Indian Campaign, the Spanish American War and received over 12 Congressional Medals of Honor.
Norwich University’s alumnus, Colonel Edward Hatch (NU’1850) who had a brilliant Civil War record, was recommended by General Grant to command the new 9th Regiment. John “Duke” Nazzaro (NU’1941) was the last Commanding Officer of the United States Military Cavalry Detachment (10th) at West Point and he said: “Serving as the last commanding officer of the Cavalry Detachment at West Point, without question, was my most memorable and rewarding assignment in the Army.”
The program is free and open to the public and the SMHC is wheelchair accessible. Refreshments will be served prior to the program in the Museum Rotunda. The exhibition will be on view at the Museum through August 2010. Call the SMHC at 802-485-2448 or 2379 for more information or directions.

Norwich graduate school adopts new name to reflect new programs
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University officials announced today that the School of Graduate Studies will now be known as the School of Graduate and Continuing Studies (SGCS).
In addition to several recently added graduate program offerings, SGCS now offers programs outside of the graduate model.
The name change reflects the addition of an undergraduate degree completion program for the U.S. Army Special Forces, the Bachelor of Science in Strategic Studies and Defense Analysis (BSSSDA), and a certificate in teaching and learning.
“We are excited about the growth and evolution of our online programs to serve the needs of the community, and this name change reflects that growth,” said Dean William Clements.
In addition to the new programs, SGCS offers graduate programs in diplomacy, military history, business administration, engineering, public administration, business continuity, information assurance, nursing and organizational leadership.
Norwich University is a diversified academic institution that educates traditional-age students and adults in a Corps of Cadets and as civilians. Norwich offers a broad selection of traditional and distance-learning programs culminating in Baccalaureate and Graduate Degrees. Norwich University was founded in 1819 by Captain Alden Partridge of the U.S. Army. Norwich University is the oldest private military college in the United States of America and the birthplace of our nation's Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC). www.norwich.edu
Norwich University’s School of Graduate and Continuing Studies (SGCS) builds upon the institution’s 191 year academic heritage with innovative online master’s degrees in a variety of areas. SGCS also offers a certificate in teaching and learning and a bachelor’s completion program. The programs are recognized throughout the industry for their rigor, small class size, high student satisfaction and retention. http://graduate.norwich.edu/
