Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources,
and Related Sciences

Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Related Sciences (MANRRS) began as a vision shared by a group of agriculture students and faculty members at Michigan State University and at Pennsylvania State University. Their goal was to develop a partnership between minority agriculture and natural resource students and professionals from academic institutions, governmental agencies, and industry. Their commitment led to the first national conference, held at Michigan State University in 1986. There are now over 2,000 student and professional members representing more than 50 academic institutions and the public and private sector. Student membership has expanded to include individuals studying business and economics, computer science, and natural science (chemistry and biology). The University of Maryland Eastern Shore Chapter of MANRRS was incorporated in 1987 and in 1988, the Third Annual MANRRS National Conference was held at UMES. Our chapter objectives are:

	Foster a bond of fellowship among the students, faculty, and administrators in the colleges or schools represented by our student membership;
	Encourage scholarly achievement, advancement, and excellence among the members;
	Assist in the recruitment and placement of ethnic minorities in professional positions within their respective fields of interest;
	Promote career and academic counseling for undergraduate and graduate students, and enhance their academic, professional, and leadership development;
