The conference’s current membership includes George Fox University, Lewis & Clark College, Linfield University, Pacific University (Ore.), and Willamette University from Oregon; Pacific Lutheran University, the University of Puget Sound, Whitman College, and Whitworth University from Washington. Over the last 25 years, the Northwest Conference has won nine NCAA Division III National Championship titles and is competitive on a national level in a wide array of sports and as well as recognized for its emphasis on academic excellence.
