President Alan Cureton, Ph.D., has been appointed to the NCAA Division III Presidents Council. Previously Cureton served on the NCAA Nomination Committee and the Presidents Advisory Group.

Matt Hill ’89, Ed.D., vice president for Student Life & Athletics, noted, “This is a great opportunity for Dr. Cureton to serve the over 450 NCAA Division III institutions in the United States. The Presidents Council is considered the top committee in the organization as they deal with many legislative issues, student athlete well-being issues and encourage the co-curricular participation of over 100,000 student-athletes. His appointment is a great representation for Northwestern College and the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference.”

The Presidents Council meets on a quarterly basis at the NCAA national office in Indianapolis, Ind., and at the NCAA Convention in January.
