Class Gift
As we look ahead to celebrating our 50th reunion, we have a unique opportunity to come together as a class and leave a lasting legacy at NFA. The Class of 1976 has chosen to support the Slater Auditorium Restoration Campaign, a project that will breathe new life into one of NFA’s most iconic spaces (learn more about the project here). Our goal is to raise $76,000 to dedicate Slater B, a room behind the auditorium, as the Class of 1976 Community Room. This space will serve as a gathering place for students, faculty, alumni, and the greater Norwich community.
To learn more about our class gift, and to make a contribution, please visit the Class of 1976 Gift page.
