Villa Maria Rd. in Bryan. The program makes a positive impact and is one of the many ways seniors at Crestview stay involved and engaged in the Bryan College Station community. WYSE lessons include family life, money management, drug and alcohol use, and even technology, where students often become the mentor. Jimmy Tyree, a former Yell Leader at Texas A&M University, says helping young people is the reason he participates.
