NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University officials announced two winners of reduced tuition to the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program with a concentration in public works.
Herb Blomquist, of Edmond, Okla., received $5,000 in tuition reduction. He has worked in the public sector since 2001.
Thomas H. Fass, of Tampa, Fla., received $2,500 in tuition reduction.
Norwich offers the scholarships through American Public Works Association (APWA).
“We are very excited to learn that Herb Blomquist and Thomas Fass were selected for scholarships in the MPA program,” said MPA Program Director Donal Hartman. “Public works is one of the most important fields in public administration and it is always a pleasure to have two of their top young managers join our program.”
Blomquist currently serves as the Director of Public Works for the City of Edmond, Okla., where he oversees the Public Works Administration, Field Services, Solid Waste, Facilities Maintenance, Fleet Management and Vehicle Maintenance functions for Public Works in the City of Edmond.
“I really enjoy positively contributing to my community every day,” he said.
Fass holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from Virginia Tech and a Master of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from Georgia Tech. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Florida and Virginia.
“I believe the MPA degree can help those of us in Public Works to better understand the larger picture of the challenges local governments face,” he said.

NEWS RELEASE
Norwich dedicates $8 million Doyle Hall at 2010 Homecoming
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University hosts its 150th homecoming since its first reunion in 1860 this weekend, Friday, Oct. 8 – Sunday, Oct. 10, and will celebrate a new, $8 million building addition to the sports complex.
Doyle Hall permanently connects Kreitzberg Arena with Andrews Hall, replacing the canvas-topped boardwalk that linked the two buildings for the past 12 years.
With 11 new individual offices, all members of the Athletic Department are housed under one roof for the first time in several decades, and every head coach now has his or her own office.
The new building is named in honor of lead donor Allen M. Doyle ’71, a two-sport Hall of Fame athlete at Norwich and PGA Champions professional.
It provides 30,000 square feet for athletic offices, locker rooms, a concession area serving all indoor athletic events and a Hall of Fame room.
Since the University’s founding nearly two centuries ago, physical fitness has been an important part of the student life experience. More than half of all Norwich undergraduates participate in varsity, intramural, or club sports.
With a marked increase in undergraduate population during the past decade and the introduction of three new varsity sports for women, the university’s athletic facilities had become overcrowded for both student athletes and their coaches.
The new building also adds three new team locker rooms, increasing the overall locker room capacity by more than 40 percent. In addition, as part of the construction project, crews refurbished all existing locker rooms in Andrews Hall.
For fans attending Norwich home games Doyle Hall’s two-story grand lobby will
also house a large concession area able to accommodate simultaneous sporting events.
On Saturday, October 9, immediately following the football game the entrance to Doyle Hall will be dedicated to the Class of 1970.

The Role of Remembrance: Norwich University and WWII
The Sullivan Museum and History Center at NU recently opened an exhibit which shares the World War II stories of over 75 of its living Alums. NU sent over 2000 men off to World War II, and all the current surviving Alums were asked to assist in this exhibit. They filled out 30 page surveys, shared their stories on a digital recorder or loaned objects to be displayed about their war time experiences.
The exhibit themes were selected from their shared stories including the birth of radio journalism, the impact of movie theater newsreels, the sale of bonds to finance the war, the power of a war poster, the impact of music on separated couples and families, and the designs of memorials that honor our dead soldiers. In addition, the patriotism of the famous magazine illustrator, Norman Rockwell and the creative inventions of the P-38 can opener and war time food like SPAM and M & Ms are featured.
A special wall shares the four theaters of WWII where NU men served with the research compiled by Museum Associate volunteer, MG John R. Greenway, NU ’56, USA (Ret.). Maps are included with a summary of the battles in each area to provide a context to the individual stories around the gallery. Over a dozen war posters are on view, part of the SMHC’s large poster collection, which show the War Information Office’s campaign to sell the war to the American public on a daily basis.
The exhibit invites the visitor to immerse themselves in the WWII era—sit on a café bench and listen to music, visit the kitchen and hear an early radio broadcast, or push an audio button and listen to a NU soldier’s story. You can also calculate your ration stamps and take a chance on SPAM or M & Ms.
All the completed WWII surveys are on view for reading along with special memory books and albums prepared by the NU Veterans. The Museum is now open six days a week, from Monday through Saturday, 9 am – 4 pm and additional information is available at 802-485-2448 or 2183.

Sullivan Museum presents archival AP photos of WWII
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University’s Sullivan Museum and History Center is proud to present photos from “Memories of World War II, Photographs from the Archives of The Associated Press,” open now through October 15.
The traveling exhibit is comprised of 126 photos. The Sullivan Museum will display approximately 40 of the photos from the collection that relate to theaters in which Norwich University alumni served including war scenes of Sicily; bombers over Tunisia; Pearl Harbor; the Doolittle Raid; Iwo Jima; McArthur’s Return to the Philippines; Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge.
The photo display is located in the museum Rotunda.
“As far as we know, all of the pictures were transmitted at some time on AP wires, but some probably have not been touched since the war,” said Charles Zoeller, curator of the exhibit and an accompanying book, and chief of AP’s vast photo library.
Founded in 1848, the AP is the world’s oldest and largest newsgathering organization, serving some 15,000 media outlets in more than 120 countries.
“Memories of World War II” opened May 24, 2004 to the public at Washington’s Union Station, a week before the National World War II Memorial was ceremonially christened on the Mall.
The Sullivan Museum and History Center is free and open to the public Monday – Friday 9 a.m.– 4 p.m. and beginning in September on Saturdays. For more information contact Museum Director Marilyn Solvay at 485-2448 or msolvay@norwich.edu.
