75th Anniversary

Get ready for a community-wide birthday celebration!

NIC will celebrate its 75th birthday throughout the 2008-2009 academic year with a variety of events that will honor and commemorate NIC’s long history and the role it has played in our region. 

NIC was born during the challenges of the Great Depression on the heels of incredible hard work and perseverance by our community’s forefathers. With endorsements by the city’s businesses, the local school district, the local PTA, women’s groups, numerous civic organizations, and the Coeur d’Alene Press, the college opened its doors in the fall of 1933. With 55 eager students, paying $35 a semester for tuition, the seed for higher education opportunities in North Idaho was firmly planted.
