STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Student organizations at Trinity Valley Community College vary slightly from year to
year in accordance with changes in student needs and interests.
All student organizations are required to operate under constitutions which
conform to the educational objectives and administrative regulations of the college.
Some organizations are primarily social; others are academic, professional or
service in nature.
All students are encouraged to participate in a campus organization.
RISK MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENT FOR STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
In 2007, the 80th Texas Legislature added section 51.9361 to the Texas Education
Code regarding risk management training of officers and advisors of student
organizations. Consequently, universities and community colleges are required to
provide training in seven different topics related to risk management. Advisors are
required to attend risk management training once and specified officers are
required to attend training annually.
TVCC is expected to disseminate the training’s content at a meeting of the full
membership of the organization/club. Topics to be covered include: possession and
use of alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs, including penalties that may be
imposed for possession or use; hazing; sexual abuse and harassment; fire and other
safety issues, including the possession and use of a firearm or other weapon or of an
explosive device; travel to a destination outside the area in which the institution is
located; behavior at parties and other events held by a student organization; other
pertinent information regarding use of Trinity Valley property, trademarks, etc.
adoption by a student organization of a risk management policy.
