With the help and support of our fans, member institutions, administrators, coaches and student-athletes, the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin enters the 2007-08 academic year as its 62nd season of competition, 22nd for women's sports.

The CCIW, recognized as one of the “Best Small-College Conferences in the Nation,” has seen its share of success throughout its time, with 34 NCAA Division III national championships in 10 different sports won by our member schools.

Since the 1991-92 academic year, the CCIW has remained consistent in its membership with eight academically superior institutions, including Augustana, Carthage, Elmhurst, Illinois Wesleyan, Millikin, North Central, North Park and Wheaton. In 2007, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, located in Terre Haute, Ind., joined the CCIW as an associate member for men's and women's swimming.

The CCIW, which sponsors 21 sports, has carried a long tradition of excellence dating back to its inception in 1946, helping student-athletes grow in their athletic as well as educational experience. The CCIW looks to continue that tradition and remains dedicated to helping our student-athletes towards success.

On behalf of the CCIW and its member schools, we would like to thank you for the support of our athletic teams and hope you enjoy your experience at all CCIW events.

Sincerely,

Chris Martin, Commissioner, CCIW

Sports Information Director, CCIW
