Student Engagement
KVCC students can find a breadth of student engagement opportunities on the KVCC campus that are both in person and virtual in nature. Those opportunities could include, but are not limited to student clubs, student employment, services, community service, and student engagement events. We encourage our students to become involved, try something new, step outside their comfort zone, and embrace these opportunities as it will provide further growth and development beyond the classroom experience. Students can find more information about student engagement events by perusing the KVCC Events page or in looking at the events tile in the KVCC App. The Office of Student Life encourages students who are seeking to find leadership opportunities or experience, volunteer or community service hours, or who are looking to feel more connected to campus, please reach out to the Director of Student Life, Jannie Durr (studentlife@kvcc.me.edu).

Student Senate Student Senate provides a forum for students who want to voice their opinions, questions, assists student clubs in being more successful, or addresses concerns about aspects of student life at Kennebec Valley Community College. Student Senate recognizes their members as Student Senate Ambassadors. These officers work with the student body and other senate members to promote student-centered activities, clubs, and organizations. Senate holds regular meetings throughout the course of the semester. Student Senate also brings student concerns and questions about policies, procedures, and services at KVCC to the executive team of the College. If you are interested in getting involved with Student Senate and making a difference for students, the easiest way is to log into the KV App and go to the Clubs and Groups tile. Once there, select the KVCC Student Senate group and click “Become Member,” it’s that easy! Student Senate welcomes student input about their experience. We would like to hear your ideas. You can join us at our town-hall style meetings every other week. Also, you can leave your comments in this form. Please know that none of the fields are required, so you do not need to provide your name unless you want to do so. If you do not have the App, you can send an email to the Director of Student Life, Jannie Durr at studentlife@kvcc.me.edu, and let us know you are ready to be a part of the team!Student Senate
Student Clubs Student clubs vary each year dependent upon student interest. These clubs can be either college program-affiliated clubs (Business Club, Nursing Club, Physical Therapy Assistant Club, Respiratory Therapy Club, or Culinary Club) or can be social/affinity/interest clubs (3D Print Club, Veteran’s Club, PRIDE Alliance, D&D Club, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Multicultural Club, Recycling & Environmental Club). You can see a list, including description and contact information for existing clubs by using the KV App and going to the Clubs and Groups tile. If you do not see a club that you wish the college had, you are more than welcome to start one yourself! New club requests are reviewed by the Office of Student Life and Student Senate.

Its purpose is to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students.
