BURNSVILLE, Minn. — Upper Iowa University leadership officially notified the NSIC office that they accepted an invitation of membership to the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) effective fall of 2023. Upper Iowa University’s affiliation with the NSIC will end on June 30, 2023.

“While a conference never likes to lose a valued member, the NSIC wishes Upper Iowa University the best of luck as they enter this new phase for their institution,” said NSIC Commissioner Erin Lind. “Upper Iowa’s candid approach through this process, along with open lines of communication between the GLVC and the NSIC has provided us the opportunity to be prepared for this news.”

Upper Iowa University will remain fully eligible to compete in NSIC Championships during the 2022-23 academic year. The conference will continue to provide an excellent championship experience for all involved.
