The Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (HVIAC) is a member conference of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA). It consists of five small colleges in New York state.[1] HVIAC's first championships were held in the 2004–05 season.[2] Andy DeStephano, Athletic Director of Berkeley College, is the president of the conference and serves until 2021–22.[3] His successor has yet to be named after the term expires. Similar to NCAA Division III rules, HVIAC membership is open to four-year higher education institutions that offer no athletic financial aid.[4]
