C/2LT Gianiece Cope, who was on point for phase these engagements, gave some insight on Phase 3 of their trip:

"The purpose of Phase 3 was to gain a deeper cultural understanding of the Amazigh and nomadic peoples indigenous to Morocco. Through cultural engagements, we had the opportunity to cook with Amazigh families and learn the traditional preparation of tajine and couscous, two of Morocco’s most iconic and traditional dishes. We also visited a nomadic family to better understand their way of life, daily routines, and traditions while living in the desert.

These interactions provided valuable insight into the history, culture, and everyday practices of the Amazigh and nomadic communities in Morocco. We learned about traditional methods of constructing homes using sheep and camel skin, as well as the seasonal migration patterns they follow in response to weather conditions and grazing needs for their livestock.”

Snapshots from our The Olmsted Foundation Field Study in Morocco.

C/SFC Brendan Macking, who led these engagements, reflected on Phase 2 as an immersion into the intersections of peace, diplomacy, culture, and conflict that have shaped Northern Morocco:

“Through military engagements, historical exploration, and cultural exchange, the team deepened its understanding of Morocco’s strategic importance at the Strait of Gibraltar, its centuries-long relationship with the United States, and the enduring influence of both cooperation and war throughout the region.

The phase began at Cap Spartel overlooking the meeting point of the Atlantic and Mediterranean, before continuing into Tangier where the team met with leadership at the American Legation Museum. There, C/SFC Macking sat at the historic desk tied to the 1904 Perdicaris Incident and symbolically reissued the order demanding Perdicaris be returned “alive or Raisuli dead,” reflecting on one of America’s earliest foreign policy crises in Morocco.

The team later conducted cultural engagement over traditional Moroccan dinners with American educators and former Peace Corps personnel living in Tangier, gaining further insight into the American presence and cultural exchange within Morocco.

The expedition continued through the mountains and Atlantic coastline near Achakar Beach before arriving at Meknes Military Academy, where the delegation was welcomed by the Commanding General, judged cadet final projects, toured academy facilities, and attended a formal dinner alongside senior officers of the Royal Moroccan Military. Members later participated in an Aïssawa music gathering rooted in the Sufi brotherhood.

In Fez, the team explored the ancient medina, Jewish Quarter, Al-Qarawiyyin University, Ibn Khaldun’s historic home, and the centuries-old leather trade at Chouara Tannery while discussing modernization with local artisans during hands-on pottery engagements.

Phase 2 concluded with the delegation presenting gifts and expressing gratitude to their guide, Hakim, before departing toward the Sahara and Merzouga Desert for the beginning of Phase 3.”

Norwich University formally dedicated the Luce Family Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, recognizing a legacy that spans generations and reflects a deep, enduring connection to the institution.

Joined by David W. Luce ’54, the moment served as a tribute to the Luce family, a lineage intertwined with Norwich’s history and mission.

For Luce, giving back is rooted not only in gratitude, but belief in Norwich’s mission.

“I wholeheartedly believe in Norwich and their mission,” he says. “The concept of the citizen-soldier and learning to think, listen, and make judgements, not just to follow the crowd.”

The naming of the department builds on that commitment, creating a lasting connection between the Luce family and the academic experience of Norwich students.
