Student life

All four Vol State campuses have events and activities for students. These range from concerts and art shows to speakers and outdoor events. A list of current student organizations can be found at http://www.volstate.edu/StudentLife/Organizations.php The Student Government Association (SGA) is where students come together to discuss policy, funding, activities, and student participation throughout student life. Some of the student organizations outside of the SGA include Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society, Team Change, Spectrum, Artisan's Alliance, and more. If students want, they can work on the weekly student newspaper, The Settler, or participate in the award-winning student literary publication, "Squatters Rites". Students can also work at the Vol State radio station, WVCP, where they can schedule as a weekly host and learn the best practices for being an announcer. Theater students produce several plays each year and the Music Department puts on showcases each semester that feature student artists and groups. The Music Department also produces a CD of student artists or groups to sell at each showcase. Intramural sports are held for fun on the Gallatin campus quad in the fall and spring semesters.

Construction began in July 2005. The $5 million project was funded by donations to the Livingston Campus Campaign, and those donations were matched by the Tennessee Board of Regents. The total amount raised by the community was $2,286,516.

April 7, 2006 Tornado

The college was damaged heavily in a tornado outbreak on April 7, 2006. Two buildings suffered direct hits from the twister, and reports from the college indicated that over 80 cars in the parking lots were damaged and destroyed. There were only minor injuries on campus. The Hal Reed Ramer Administration Building received major damage, including damage to the office of the President. Noble Caudill Hall suffered perhaps the worst damage, as much of the second floor on the south side of the building collapsed, and a large section of roofing above WVCP radio and the Wemyss Auditorium was ripped off and/or collapsed inward. Caudill Hall closed for more than a year and a half until repairs were completed. In all, eleven classrooms had to be relocated due to damage and 72 faculty and staff offices were moved. Volunteer State building coordinators and campus safety staff have been credited with helping to save lives on the day the tornado hit. They were honored in a ceremony at the school.

By spring of 2007, the Ramer building was fully occupied again, including a new home for the student radio station. The Caudill Building re-opened for classes on January 12, 2008. A major landscaping project was finished in spring 2008 marking the end of tornado repair.
