TAMUG LaRue Service Corps
The LaRue Service Corps is an advocacy and service club aimed at holding fundraisers and drives for basic items mariners are often deprived of. Collected items will be distributed by the Seaman Church Institute in Houston, The Apostleship of the Sea, and Human Rights at Sea. The club is available to all students who want to learn about mariner issues, advocate against instances of abuse, and learn about options for helping the marginalized.
The LaRue Service Corps is named after Servant of God Captain Leonard LaRue, or Brother Marinus, a Merchant Marine captain who rescued 14,000 Korean refuges during the Korean War in the largest humanitarian rescue by a single ship in history. He would later become a Benedictine monk and is currently a candidate for sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church. Though a Christian organization, membership is not restricted just to Christians. We want everyone who wants to help those who keep our world turning!
