Junior MANRRS is a pre-collegiate outreach program of the National Society of Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS)  for high school-aged and younger students to expose them to career pathways and educational possibilities in the food, agricultural, environmental and related sciences. Junior MANRRS members are affiliated with the National Society through membership with a local MANRRS chapter.  Through Junior MANRRS college-level students connect pre-college aged students with networking opportunities and with other MANRRS student members, university faculty, and industry professionals. 

Junior MANRRS from Ogden Elementary visited the College of Agriculture both in the fall and spring.  They spent time in the Bakery Science lab making holiday cookies and learned about the study of entomology as they spent time in the insect zoo. These young people are just starting to realize the diversity that exists in Agriculture.  

In the Fall of 2009 our plans are to adopt Manhattan High School as our next Junior MANRRS Chapter.
