History of the MANRRS-University of Illinois Chapter

 

Founded in 1987, MANRRS-UIUC charts the direction for a diverse student body in the College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (ACES). It is a founding chapter of the national society of MANRRS. Chapter membership has increased from 4 students in 1987 to approximately 50 students today.


The chapter accomplishes its goals through a schedule of activities at the local, state and national level. MANRRS-UIUC has established a strong record of service to the university and local community. The chapter and individual members have won awards at the annual MANRRS national conference. MANRRS-UIUC was recognized as the MANRRS National Chapter of the Year in 1999 and Region V Chapter of the Year for five consecutive years (1997 - 2001). In 1997, MANRRS-UIUC hosted the first ever Region V workshop and in 2001 hosted the National MANRRS Conference and Career Fair.
