Read Through The Valley Picks Focal Topic

TVCC LogoTrinity Valley Community College press release

The Read Through The Valley (RTTV) book project started four years ago whereby a single book was adopted by the college, and then students were encouraged to read the book and attend various events focused on the book’s plot. The goal was to inspire students to read for pleasure and enhance their experience outside of the classroom.

Many events were held, including a rally in the plaza, book club meetings, video showings, athletic competitions, field trips, food tastings, and art shows. One of the most popular events has been listening to the numerous speakers who were invited to speak on campus.

This year, the RTTV committee decided to change up the protocol a bit, and instead of selecting a book, they selected an intriguing focal topic and have invited a series of speakers to talk about and facilitate a discussion on a particular aspect of the focal topic. An assemblage of stimulating articles, blogs, videos, etc. can be accessed on the RTTV lib guide and read prior to the speaker’s presentation.

By Michael V. Hannigan

After two straight wins over conference rivals Tyler and Navarro, Trinity Valley Community College is moving up in the rankings while its neighbors are dropping.

The Cardinals moved up to No. 3 in the nation this week after beating Navarro 66-30 Saturday night in Corsicana.

The Navarro Bulldogs entered the game against TVCC ranked No. 6, but fell to No. 12 with the release of Monday’s rankings. Tyler is No. 13.

While the fans and the media get excited over the rankings, TVCC Coach Brad Smiley is keeping things in perspective.

“Its obviously nice to be recognized, but it is only one spot and its only September,” he said. “Rankings in December are the key.”

The Cardinals will be at home this Saturday against Cisco College. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Bruce Field.

EDIT: Change name from Cisco Junior College to Cisco College.
