STUDENT LIFE
STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Trinity Valley Community College believes that many of the most beneficial
experiences and lasting impressions in college are those acquired in extracurricular
activities (hereafter referred to as student engagement events). The College strives,
therefore, to provide a program of student engagement events so varied that there
will be some activity which will appeal to the interests or meet the personal needs of
every student enrolled in the college. Furthermore, the College sponsors a well-
rounded program of social activities and events to provide recreation and
opportunities to develop social skills.
All student engagement events must have the approval of the college administration
and be sponsored by a member of the faculty. Any funds collected by student
organizations must be deposited with and dispensed through the college business
office.
ATHLETICS
Trinity Valley Community College is a member of the Southwest Junior College
Football Conference and NJCAA Region XIV. The College sponsors a well-rounded
athletic program for both men and women. Cardinal teams for men participate in
conference competition in football and basketball while women participate in
conference competition in basketball, softball and volleyball.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL PREVENTION PROGRAM (DAAPP)
Trinity Valley Community College implements a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention

legal policies outline the consequences regarding the use or possession of drugs or

the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse through on campus events, available
information and social media. Treatment, counseling, rehabilitation and re-entry
information is available in the Cardinal Success Center of the Baugh Technology
Center on the Athens campus.
