Aggie Shields
About This Organization
- Abbreviation(s):
- Aggie Shields
- Purpose:
- Aggie Shields has shaped it's purpose into one of serving our veterans along with our community. We will do this by creating a lending library for veterans to rent textbooks for free for the semester. Along with these main focuses we will be out participating in service events on campus and in the Bryan/College Station community. Through the development of Aggie Shields, we have met and talked with many people. The more we learn, the more we realize what a need there is in the veteran community for support and we are working to help in any way that we can.
