Jr. MANRRS Leadership Institute
Leadership Institute Goal
The goal of the Jr. MANRRS Leadership Institute is to encourage students in grades 7th -12th to attend college and pursue agriculture, natural resources, and environmental science degrees. Our Leadership Institute provides activities to help students discover firsthand how agriculture, engineering, and technology relate to the world around them and discover the excitement of academic excellence, leadership, technical development, and teamwork.
Leadership Institute Objectives
- Provide professional and academic workshops that will CONNECT students to agriculture and related science industries and working professionals.
- Allow students networking opportunities with COLLEGIATE MANRRS members and the University of Kentucky, College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
- Have students to COMPETE in organized competitions in hopes of progressing to the national level.
2020 Leadership Institute Update
With sincere regret, we have decided to cancel this year's Jr. MANRRS Leadership Institute. We do not believe at this time that it will be in the best interest of our presenters, special guests, or participants to proceed with programming.
While we are sad about not having an Institute this year, we are happy to share that we do have funds to cover the following opportunities for our youth.
National Conference fees, 35th National Training Conference & Career Fair- April 7-10, 2021
Jr. MANRRS National Membership Dues
In addition to covering the cost of becoming a national member and attending the national conference, we would like to also send Jr. MANRRS swag to any student who takes advantage of the opportunities above (whether they registered for the Institute or not).
Leaders, if you would like to engage your students with this opportunity, please contact Kendriana Price, kendriana.price@uky.edu.
