Norwich students, alumni, and faculty work for diverse organizations in a wide variety of fields, but they all share one thing in common: industriousness. Explore this section to learn about their professional and civic accomplishments – and tell us about your own.
Upon graduation with his Master of Arts in Diplomacy in 2007, Sklar Jager Lao was immediately hired for a civilian position supporting US military operations in the Middle East. In 2010 Lao, a Navy Reservist, was activated to support Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Lao viewed the situation with optimism. "The good part," Lao said, "is even though I was deployed, I was 30 minutes away from my wife and my 3 cats"
In 2011 Lao was injured, and in May of this year at age 32, he is medically retired. Lao still currently undergoing rehabilitation.
With a sense of humor, Lao describes the situtation in this way, "I refer to it as the 'Bourne Retirement.'"
