Location
Located in the valley of the Shoshone River, Powell is proud to be a college town and home to Northwest College's well-groomed, 124-acre main campus. Its 58 buildings include five residence halls and 80 apartments for nearly 900 students and families. Nearby are the Equine Center, Stock Agricultural Pavilion, an observatory, and West Campus, where the Center for Training and Development, an economic development business incubator, GEAR UP, and Adult Education programs reside. Fifty miles to the west is the College's 36-acre mountain field station, surrounded by a national forest adjacent to spectacular Sunlight Basin.
Selected as one of 10 All-America Cities in 1994, Powell is a clean, safe community with a population of 5,381. Its economy is based upon oil, irrigated farming, livestock/ ranching, tourism, and agriculture support services.
Northwest's mission and success are enhanced by strong community support, a private nonprofit foundation, and an active alumni association.
