Board of Trustees

Formulation of major policies and ultimate budget authority at Northwest College rests with a seven-member Board of Trustees. Trustees represent the college’s tax district of Park County and are elected to four-year terms in compliance with Wyoming’s Enrolled Act 80 (HB 58-A).

Regular meetings are held the second Monday of each month, with special meetings called as necessary. A citizens’ open forum is on regular meeting agendas.

Visit the Board of Trustees page of the NWC website for more information.

Northwest College Alumni Association

The Northwest College Alumni Association was chartered in 1988 as the first Wyoming community college alumni association and was among the first two-year college alumni associations in the Rocky Mountain area.

The association serves as the principal link between Northwest College and its worldwide network of over 21,000 alumni. An alumnus is defined as anyone who attended the college full time (12 or more credit hours) successfully completing at least one semester, or part-time and earned an associate degree.

Visit the Alumni Association section of the NWC website for more information.
