Who organizes the Northwest Student Leadership Conference?
NWSLC is organized by a student Steering Committee.  With the support of the Oregon Student Foundation Event Coordinator, the Steering Committee directs all aspects of the conference. Each spring the Committee meticulously reviews the previous year’s conference evaluations and works throughout the year to make each conference better than the last.  As communication is done via conference call and email, the NWSLC Steering Committee is open to all students who wish to join regardless of location.

What about entertainment in Portland?
PSU is conveniently located next to great shopping, dining, and nightlife in the heart of downtown Portland.  On Saturday night NWSLC puts on a dance with a live DJ at University Place (where most attendees stay during the conference).  The dance is great place to meet new people and unwind after a day of workshops and skill-building.  Stay tuned for additional night activities on Friday.
