MANRRS presence has grown over the last several years, and we hope to keep that momentum going. To deepen our impact in agriculture, we must increase access and engagement in agricultural research. We are seeking to raise funds to help support students to present their research at the National MANRRS Conference (April 2025 in Memphis). Our goal is to make it easier for students to travel, present, and benefit from the conference professional development. #weARmanrrs
Through your generosity, we will be able to provide transformative opportunities for students, equipping them with the skills and confidence to thrive in their careers and make a lasting impact in agriculture. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in shaping the future of MANRRS students. You can help us even further by sharing our project with your family, friends, and colleagues via email, social media and word of mouth!
