Social Sciences at Dartmouth. Named for longtime New Hampshire U.S. Congressman Perkins Bass, Dartmouth Class of 1934, the distinguished visitors program invites a New Hampshire citizen who has made outstanding contributions in government to share experiences with the Dartmouth community. Andrew Samwick, director of the Rockefeller Center, spoke to the press about Norelli's appointment. "It is our privilege this year to have Terie Norelli as our Perkins Bass Visitor. Her depth of legislative experience and focus on civility and dialogue comes at a time when the Dartmouth community looks for exactly that type of leadership model. Her involvement with the center this year will afford students a real opportunity to meet and engage with an exceptional leader." She is featured in two books about women in politics: "Pearls, Politics and Power: How Women Can Win and Lead" by Vermont Gov. Madeleine Kunin, and "Women at the Table: 40 Intimate Profiles of Political Women in the Northeast" by Michaeline della Fera. She is also included in "Legendary Locals of Portsmouth" by Charles McMahon. On December 19, 2016, Norelli served as one of four members of New Hampshire Electoral College delegation, the first all-female such delegation. The vote was unanimous in support of Sec. Clinton. In advance of the vote, Norelli was one of over 50 electors who petitioned national intelligence director James Clapper to authorize a briefing ahead of the Electoral College's meeting on Dec. 19 to elect the next president. The briefing never took place. Personal life Norelli earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics education, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, at the University of New Hampshire, and was a math teacher at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, NH, before she ran for the legislature.
