MANRRS - First Meeting! - 9/24/18




UMD'S Chapter of Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources, & Related Sciences is having its General Body Meeting outlining goals for the coming academic year on Monday the 24th of September at 6:00 pm in 0108 Symons Hall! 

MANRRS is a national society that welcomes membership of people of all racial and ethnic group participation in agricultural and related science careers. MANRRS members are encouraged to be full participants in other professional societies for their basic disciplinary and career interests. However, MANRRS attempts to provide networks to support professional development of minorities. It is a springboard for their entry into and advancement in careers where they otherwise could be lost in the sheer number and established connections of mainstream participants. For student members, MANRRS provides role models and networking opportunities. MANRRS also offers students opportunities to enhance leadership and organizational and public speaking skills, and to experience professional critique of scholarly worked in a “user friendly” environment.
