Student Workers
The VRSC partners with the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs' Work-Study Allowance Program to employ student workers. At any given time the VRSC employs between 15-20 Work-Study workers. Our office strongly encourages the professional and personal growth of our Work-Study workers and gives them the opportunity to hone their skills through the daily management of many of our programs. As such, you may receive an email from a Work-Study worker at any time regarding one of our programs and services. If you receive an email from someone representing our office that is not listed on our staff page and they have an @vpsa.tamu.edu email address, please know they are an authorized and legitimate contact for our office. Any questions or concerns about our Work-Study program or workers should be directed to Colleen Morgan.
