History

The conference was established December 5th, 2005. When the creation of the new conference was officially announced on December 13th, another member institution was included, the Stevens Institute of Technology, but ended up joining the Empire 8. Finally, on November 2006, the University of Scranton became the eighth charter member institution. John A. Reeves began his service as commissioner of the Landmark Conference on September 1, 2006. The first intraconference competition was played September 15, 2007 at Kings Point, New York, when the University of Scranton defeated the United States Merchant Marine Academy 1-2 in men's soccer.

*Fall sports: cross country, field hockey, men's & women's soccer and women's volleyball.
*Winter sports: men's and women's basketball, indoor track and field, and swimming/diving.
*Spring sports: baseball, men's & women's lacrosse, outdoor track and field, softball, and men's & women's tennis.

Football is not sponsored by the Landmark Conference due to only having American football programs at 5 of the institutions. Therefore, the United States Merchant Marine Academy and Susquehanna University compete in the Liberty League; Juniata College and Moravian College compete in the Centennial Conference while Catholic University of America plays in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference.

Logo

During January 2007, a contest was announced to design a logo for the newly-formed Landmark athletic conference. The contest was only open to undergraduate students from the conference schools. In a first phase, a panel of judges selected a winner at each of the eight Landmark Conference schools. Winners received $250 each. In a second and final round, on February 6, in Washington, D.C., the presidents of the Landmark schools selected the final design from among the eight first round winners. The logo submitted by Susquehanna University's graphic design major and men’s lacrosse player Tim Storck ’08, of Cockeysville, Md., was selected. Tim was awarded the $1000 additional price. Selected colors were maroon (Pantone 1815) and blue (Pantone 281).
