Congratulations to the 2026 Munn Award winners Joe Whiteside (NU27) and Lillian Lu (NU26)

Joe is a senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering (Bachelor of Science) and also a NROTC Midshipman in the U.S. Navy, training to commission as an Ensign upon graduation

Lillian is a senior graduate student in the 4+1 Accelerated Master’s Program in Computer Science and Information Assurance, with a concentration in Digital Forensics home. She holds triple minors in Chinese, Information Warfare, and History in Naval Studies.

His fight inspired the creation of the phrase "With You Always" which reflected his indomitable spirit and his great love for the Norwich Rugby programs, players, coaches, and family.

Congratulations Joe and Lillian - With You Always

Congratulations are in order to Hannah (Bell) St. Pierre '16 on her selection for the NU Athletic Hall of Fame

NORTHFIELD, Vt. - The Norwich University Athletic Hall of Fame Selection Committee has announced the Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2026, a distinguished group that spans several generations of Cadet athletics and reflects achievement across competition, leadership, service, and lasting impact on Norwich University.

Eight individuals and two teams will be formally inducted during the 44th Annual Norwich University Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Sunday, Oct. 18, at 10:00 a.m. in Plumley Armory as part of Homecoming Weekend festivities.

The Class of 2026 includes Christian Albrecht '16 (men's soccer), Hannah (Bell) St. Pierre '16 (women's rugby), Marley Balasco '11 (softball), Sani Siric '06 (men's soccer), Brian Mullally '06 (men's ice hockey), Alexandria Evans '01 (women's soccer / women's swimming & diving), Bill McCollough '91 (Distinguished Letterwinner in men's swimming & diving), Frank Vanecek H'10 (Honorary), the 2005-06 men's basketball team, and the 2005-06 men's swimming & diving team.

Established to recognize outstanding student-athletes, teams, coaches, administrators, and contributors whose achievements have left a lasting legacy at Norwich, the Athletic Hall of Fame remains one of the highest honors bestowed by the Department of Athletics. Induction may be granted through regular membership, honorary membership, distinguished letterwinner recognition, memorial membership, or team membership.

Hannah (Bell) St. Pierre '16 (Women's Rugby) - St. Pierre remains, as of 2025, the all-time leading scorer in Norwich rugby history, men's or women's, with 743 total points, including 242 points on conversions and penalties and 501 points from tries. A cornerstone of one of the greatest eras in program history, she won four Division I national championships with Norwich, including two USA Rugby Division I 7s titles, one ACRA Division I 15s title, and another ACRA Division I 7s title, while also helping the Cadets to three Division I national runner-up finishes. She earned USA Rugby Collegiate All-American Division I honors in 2013-14, NCAA Varsity League All-American recognition in 2015-16, and ACRA Division I All-Tournament Team honors in 15s in 2013-14. A tri-captain as a junior and co-captain as a senior, she paired elite athletic achievement with academic distinction at Norwich before later earning her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center. She now serves as a junior associate at Choate Hall & Stewart LLP.

Well done and well deserved Hannah
