Our Crowdfunding Groups
Wow, thank you to our amazing and generous donors for hitting 100% in just a few days! We couldn't do this without your support. It’s estimated to cost around $1,000 for each student to attend the national conference, which means that we’ve secured travel for at least 5 students.
We’re now announcing a $10,000 stretch goal so that we can secure funding for 5 more students!

Did you know that our students come from every major in Bumpers College? There are 14 interrelated majors and 25 minors to prepare students for rewarding professional careers developing sustainable solutions for food, family and environmental issues.
Did you know our students help support the #1 industry in Arkansas? Agriculture! Arkansas is #1 in rice, #3 in broilers, #3 in cotton, #4 in catfish, #4 in turkeys, #7 in peanuts, #8 in chicken eggs, #10 in soybeans, #11 in beef cows, #15 in corn for grain, #22 in oats, #23 in cattle & calves, #23 in honey, and #24 in hogs & pigs.
In the next 50 years, researchers like us must help farmers around the world feed more people than we did in the previous 100 years.
The official name of the organization became the National Society for Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Related Sciences (MANRRS) in 1989. As all are welcome to be members of MANRRS, the organization pledges to foster the advancement and achievement of ethnic minorities in agriculture, natural resources, and relates sciences. Overall, our focus evolves around personal and professional development of our membership as a means to prepare students for opportunities within a global society.
The majority of our expenses comes from hotel costs, staying 3 nights in Memphis. With your donation, we will be able to focus on presenting our research at the conference.
