NEWS RELEASE
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Research conducted at Norwich University by students and faculty members will be featured in a Vermont Public Television documentary airing tonight at 8 p.m.
Norwich faculty members Danner Friend and Jacques Beneat will be featured in "Emerging Science: Out Of This World," which explores the construction of a miniature cube satellite that is being built by a partnership of professors and students from Norwich University, University of Vermont, St. Michael's College, and Vermont Technical College.
The project, which has the ultimate goal of sending a self-propelled, triple-length CubeSat to the moon in five years, is funded largely from a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA]. The money was funneled through the Vermont Space Grant Consortium, one of many academic groups that NASA has encouraged to promote aerospace research.
The CubeSat project has been broken down into three aspects so student teams at each school will have a distinct research goal. The UVM team is mapping out the best possible flight paths to the moon; VTC students will be assembling the CubeSat, itself, including propulsion components; and the Norwich researchers are working on the hardware and software for the satellite’s navigation system.
“This is an exciting opportunity to participate in space exploration and science missions, and we look forward to continuing and building upon that.” said Prof. Danner Friend.
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

NEWS RELEASE
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University’s Office of Substance Abuse Education and Prevention, in conjunction with several community partners, will hold an annual alcohol awareness event this Wednesday, Oct. 26, from 7-10 p.m. in the Mill in recognition of October as Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Month.
Tables will be set up with free food, door prizes and a short quiz that enters participants in a drawing for two televisions. The quiz focuses on campus resources, such as Safe Rides, a program designed to reduce drinking and driving.
This is the fourth year in a row this event is being held, and last year approximately 350 students participated.
“We do this every year, twice a year, to make sure students have this information about how to get help whether they’re in a crisis or they need longer term education and treatment,” said Gail Mears, director of the Office of Substance Abuse Education and Prevention.
This event is of particular significance this year given the recent tragic car accident in which alcohol is cited as a factor in the death of one student and critical injuries of three others.
The Mill is located in the bottom of Wise Campus Center.

NEWS RELEASE
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University officials announced they have joined Efficiency Vermont’s Energy Leadership Challenge, which establishes a goal of reducing energy consumption by 7.5% on the campus over the next two years.
Partnering with Efficiency Vermont and SourceOne, an energy management and consulting services firm out of Boston, Norwich’s campus will undergo a thorough energy audit beginning in late September. The audit will evaluate the use of energy at all levels on campus from the central heating plant to lighting, and it is slated to take several months to complete.
According to SourceOne, a subsidiary of Veolia Energy North America, the campus can reduce its energy use by about 5% per year, saving a minimum of 400,000 kilowatt hours annually—roughly the amount of electricity consumed by more than 44 average Vermont homes (Vermont Department of Public Service figures). With the efforts from SourceOne and other energy saving measures, this puts the challenge goal of 7.5% within reach by 2013.
“The energy conservation measures to be identified by SourceOne and implemented by Norwich will take our long tradition of seeking operating efficiencies to a new level,” said Chief Administrative Officer Dave Magida. “Norwich already has a very energy efficient campus, but with the assistance of Efficiency Vermont and SourceOne, we are looking forward to meeting the goal of the Energy Leadership Challenge.”
“We are very pleased to partner with Norwich University to identify solutions to help reduce energy consumption on campus,” said Vincent Martin, President of SourceOne. “At SourceOne, we share Norwich’s commitment to energy efficiency, and we applaud their efforts to implement measures that will enable the University to operate their facilities in an even more cost-effective, efficient and environmentally-responsible manner.”
The Energy Leadership Challenge is an invitation to the largest businesses and institutions in Vermont to take action to achieve a 7.5% energy savings at their facilities over the challenge’s two-year timeframe – July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2013. The program is geared to the largest 300 or so commercial energy users in Vermont, as well as commercial energy users in Burlington Electric Department territory.
“Norwich’s leadership is exemplary," said Tim Perrin, Efficiency Vermont account manager. "By setting an energy reduction goal and developing a comprehensive plan to achieve it through this partnership, their investments will improve the operation of buildings and tackle deferred maintenance items, while achieving a rate of return that rivals historical endowment performance.”
