The Office of Multicultural Diversity is charged with recruiting potential students to full-time employment and to the LSU College of Agriculture. This is facilitated through Minorities in Agriculture, Natual Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS).
What is MANRRS?
Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS) is a national society that promotes the involvement of minorities in agriculture and related sciences, and is made up of a national office with chapters established at various colleges and universities throughout the United States. Membership is open to people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds who support the objective of full ethnic group participation and achievement in agricultural and related science careers. Current membership is made up of over 1,500 undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals in 45 chapters, and includes men and women of African American, Hispanic, Asian American, Native American, and Caucasian backgrounds. Honorary and Supporting Memberships are bestowed on individuals, corporations, institutions, and agencies that have made significant contributions toward the support of MANRRS.
MANRRS places much emphasis on informal networking among students and professionals with diverse backgrounds from different geographical locations throughout the United States.
