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.
AG CLUB
TVCC’s Ag Club is open to all students attending Trinity Valley Community College.
Any student that desires to promote agriculture and share fellowship with others of
similar interests is invited to join. The club encourages leadership and participation
in the activities of the Texas Junior College Agriculture Association. The TVCC Ag
Club is also involved in supporting the community through service projects.
