Student Life
Knoxville College's Student Government Association (SGA), which is elected by the student body, acts as a liaison between students and campus administration. The SGA is led by a president, elected for one term.
Student activities include a dance team, a debate team, a choir, and a trivia team (which competes with other HBCUs in the Honda Bowl Competition). The school's newspaper, The Aurora, has been published for over a century. The college also maintains a student ambassador program and wellness program that provides volunteer services for the surrounding community.
Knoxville College has dropped most athletics programs in recent years, but is currently in the process of re-establishing men's and women's basketball teams, as well as a cheerleading squad.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.”
—Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
