What is MANRRS?

MANRRS is a student-run chapter of the national MANRRS organization. MANRRS provides students with an expanded network and social, professional, and career building opportunities. Our student organization holds biweekly meetings throughout the semester, gives back to the community through volunteer work, hosts social events, and attends the regional and national MANRRS conferences each year. The national MANRRS conference includes poster sessions, public speaking events, a career/internship fair, professional development workshop sessions, and a wide array of networking opportunities. For more information about MANRRS, please email odicfans@umn.edu.

The MANRRS Virtual Regional Clusters will be held virtually October 12 - 14, 2021. The Regional Cluster is a premiere recruiting event.  It features an Opportunity Fair, workshops, student competitions, networking opportunities, and professional and leadership development for student and professional attendees.
