Early in 1985, minority students in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State University established the first campus MANRRS organization. Later that same year, the Michigan State group traveled to Penn State to encourage students to organize a similar group. The networking between students at the two universities and others of like mind at other universities has led to the formation of the national society for Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Related Sciences (MANRRS).
Annually in Kentucky a MANRRS conference is held for high school students. This year 2 local youth attended. After returning home they decided to form a Jr. MANRRS Clubs for
Cumberland County youth. The club meet two times face-to-face prior to COVID 19 and now is in the process of becoming an official chapter. The club recently created a facebook group that has over 20 members.
