NEWS RELEASE
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University’s student-produced documentary film, "The War at Home," has taken National First Place in the Society of Professional Journalists' 2010 "Mark of Excellence Awards in the category of Television In-Depth Reporting."
Norwich was awarded First Place in Region 1 on April 9 at Brown University and then went on to compete against the other 11 Regional Winners.
The awards will be presented on September 25 at the Society of Professional Journalists' 2011 National Convention in New Orleans.
“The War at Home” explores issues veterans face upon returning home in interviews with veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of those interviewed on camera are Norwich student veterans, which gives viewers the opportunity to witness what would otherwise be a private conversation.
Produced at the nation’s oldest private military college, many of the student producers went on to take commissions in the US military. One of the Senior Producers, Amanda Plachek, is currently serving in Afghanistan.
The goal of the documentary is to educate those deploying, their families and the general public about the realities of war and the effect it can have on those who serve.
“Family members, students and classmates say it is such a powerful video because getting exposed to these stories gives viewers a view of the military you don’t usually see,” said Brittney Schlauch, a Senior Producer.
Two current seniors, Jordan Lewis and Matt Hernandez, used the film as a catalyst for conversations with their parents in considering signing an Army contract. They are both graduating and commissioning in ceremonies at Norwich this weekend.
“‘The War at Home’ was a valuable experience for those on both sides of the camera,” said William Estill, communications professor. For some veterans, the on-camera interview was the first time they talked openly of certain wartime events.
“The national award comes at a time when The War on Terror reaches a milestone with the death of bin Laden, and the student veterans and producers are graduating and commissioning,” Estill said.

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.
