About Us
MANRRS offers students opportunities to enhance leadership, organizational and public speaking skills, and to receive critiques of scholarly work in a supportive environment. MANRRS professional members are often the only, or one of few, minority participants in their basic disciplinary societies or at their career locations. MANRRS provides a network of counterparts from similar backgrounds with related interests and goals. More experienced members serve as mentors for newer graduates. MANRRS provides its members an inner circle of relationships to improve professional lines of communication. MANRRS also serves employers in the broader agricultural sector. It provides them a platform to identify prospective, well-qualified employees who are members of ethnic groups. Our chapter is connected with companies such as Land O’Lakes, Purina Mills, and WinField├é┬« United, Bayer, John Deere, Farm Credit, Veterinary Services, Animal Care, BASF, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Cargill, Elanco, Merck & Co., Dow, Monsanto, Syngenta, Du Pont, the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
