Master Chief Todd Coulard

Join the Naval Family of Norwich Graduates

Husband, father and long-distance runner, Master Chief Todd Coulard is currently the lead helicopter rescue swimmer with Helicopter Sea Combat Wing Atlantic. He graduated from Norwich with a Master of Science in Leadership degree in 2022. Master Chief Coulard wanted more than a degree that checked a box, so he pursued a master’s program that fed his passion. On what he’ll remember most about his experience with Norwich, Coulard said: “Discipline, grit and networkability. Norwich was the best academic decision I have ever made! Additionally, the military-friendly environment was a plus.”
