Minorities in Agricultural, Natural Resources, and Related Sciences

"Linking hands across the world" 

 

Minorities In Agricultural, Natural Resources, And Related Sciences, known as MANRRS, is a national society focused on the professional and personal development of minorities in agriculture. For student members, MANRRS provides role models, networking opportunities, scholarships, and employment opportunities. MANRRS also offers students opportunities to enhance leadership, organizational, and public speaking skills, and to experience professional critique of scholarly work in a “user-friendly” environment.

MANRRS-Purdue University was founded in 1990 and has been active in the national society ever since. MANRRS welcomes membership of people from all backgrounds in agricultural and related science disciplines. It is a springboard for their entry into careers and advancements.
