"With the generous support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Willamette University, Whitman College, University of Puget Sound, Reed College, and Lewis and Clark College have formed the Northwest Five Consortium (NW5C). Working toward the regular sharing of expertise and resources, the mission of the NW5C is to enhance the student academic experience at our five liberal arts colleges through enrichment and development of faculty as teacher-scholars. In service of this mission, the Consortium will provide the infrastructure to support collaborative efforts among its member institutions."
