The nine private colleges and universities in Oregon and Washington that form theNorthwest Conference are building a strong reputation for the NWC as one of the top NCAA Division III leagues in the nation. The NWC is nationally competitive in a verywide spectrum of sports. Formed in 1926, the NWC has changedmembership and national affiliation during its 82-year existence. It is one of the oldest conferences in the western United States. The NWC’s current members in Oregonare Willamette, George Fox, Linfield, Lewis and Clark, and Pacific. Members locatedin Washington are Pacific Lutheran, PugetSound, Whitman and Whitworth. Charter members included Willamette, the College of Idaho, Linfield, Pacific and Puget Sound. Albany College was added in 1931, remained for seven years, and thenreturned in 1949 as Lewis & Clark College.

Pacific Lutheran joined in 1965 and was followed by Whitworth (1970). The Collegeof Idaho withdrew from the conference in 1978. Whitworth dropped out in 1984 and returned in 1988. Menlo joined in 2006 as a member in football only. The NWC offers championships in 18 sports (nine men’s andnine women’s). The NWC originally sponsored athletic competition for men’s sports only, but laterjoined forces with the Women’s Conference of Independent Colleges (WCIC) in 1984

to create the Northwest Conference ofIndependent Colleges (NCIC). The namewas shortened to the original NorthwestConference in 1998. Also in 1998, all nine NWC membersshifted affiliation from the NAIA to theNCAA. Members knew the move wouldfoster equity, sportsmanship and a genuineconcern for all student-athletes.
