Currently in its 19th year, the Northwest Student Leadership Conference (NWSLC), is the largest and most affordable conference of its kind. NWSLC hosts over 500 students from across the United States at the Portland State University campus for three days of workshops, forums, speakers, and networking. NWSLC offers students over 100 workshops by both peers and professionals that focus on issues affecting students in post-secondary education such as increasing students’ electoral power, bringing underrepresented students to campus, and lowering tuition in tough economic times. NWSLC is also committed to direct action organizing and offers its attendees a wide variety of skill-based workshops such as running a campaign, recruitment, working with interns or volunteers, lobbying and media tactics. Each year, the conference features speakers who address issues such as activism, the student loan industry, and diversity. NWSLC also puts on forums on issues of interest to students.
Each year a group of committed students from past conferences take part in the NWSLC Steering Committee, making NWSLC the largest student-led conference in the Northwest! The Steering Committee is responsible for the overall direction of the conference. Students plan everything from the conference theme to workshops to speakers.
NWSLC attracts students from all arenas of campus. In past years our conference has been comprised of students from public and private universities and colleges involved with student government, multi-cultural centers, student clubs & organizations, residence life, and Greek life as well as advisers and graduate students.
