About TAMU's A.S.A.P.
Aggies Serving the Aging Population
The Aggies Serving the Aging Population (ASAP) at Texas A&M University is a relatively new service student organization that aims to engage, support, and serve older adults in the Brazos Valley (Bryan/College Station community). This will be accomplished by providing awareness of resources to promote healthy aging, and to facilitate social engagement among older adults. We build on the Texas A&M core values of promoting advocacy, compassion, respect, integrity, sensitivity, and patience.

Our Goals:
1) Promote Advocacy
2) Compassion
