Norwich University Graduate Portal: Establishing Community for Online Students - M. E. Kabay, Ubiquity

When students arrive at Norwich University, they see a familiar and beautiful campus with 185 years of history visible in everything from beautiful buildings, lovely stonework and memorabilia such as World War II tanks driven by illustrious alumni . There are clubs such as the Special Interest Group on Security Audit and Control and daily opportunities to interact with professors, staff, and other students. There are championship-winning sports teams. All of these facilities and activities provide opportunities for friendship, teamwork, and a sense of belonging to something very old, very deep, and very proud. How do students of Norwich University's online graduate programs develop a sense of involvement with each other, with their professors, and with the University? One way is the Norwich University Virtual Campus, a Web site dedicated to encouraging a sense of community among all of the participants in our online graduate programs.
