About VASC Guiding

VASC Guides

VASC Guides are current Texas State veterans or military-connected students who provide incoming and returning Texas State veterans and military-connected students with guidance to succeed in their academic endeavors. This peer-to-peer program allows new students to meet and ask questions from current students who have likely had similar experiences or can share commonalities. VASC Guides are familiar with many useful resources about Texas State, Veteran Affairs, the local San Marcos community, and more!
