The University of Arizona sits on the original homelands of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. Aligning with the university’s core value of a diverse and inclusive community, it is an institutional responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the people, culture, and history that make up the Wildcat community. At the institutional level, it is important to be proactive in broadening awareness throughout campus to ensure our students feel represented and valued.

Dear Ursula,

The National Society of MANRRS stands in support of bringing awareness to the injustices and issues impacting various underserved communities. Over the course of the Summer we have developed a four-part series on Exploring Racial Equity, Advocacy, and Social Justice in American Agriculture.

History has been full of movements led by students. In fact:

  *   The lunch counter sit-ins that would change American history began with four teenagers who walked up to a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., and refused to leave.
  *   In March of 1968 Howard University took over the administrative building, and many more barricaded themselves in their dorms to demand that the university president resign, that the curriculum emphasize African-American history and culture; that a judiciary system involving students be created; and that disciplinary proceedings against students involved in an earlier protest be dropped.
  *    Around 1,000 students that same year protested at Columbia University over the construction of a university gym in Morningside Park in Harlem that would provide only limited access to Harlem residents, and Columbia’s Vietnam-era contract with a weapons research think tank.
  *   As a then college student, Dr. Dave Weatherspoon saw, "There was a need to build a community, and that's what the organization [MANRRS] started as."

The MANRRS DEI Summer Series: Exploring Racial, Equity, Advocacy, and Social Justice in American Agriculture was birthed from our student leaders sharing their experiences and stories. MANRRS welcomes the chance to spotlight student activists in pushing change within agricultural, natural resources, and related sciences and therefore thrilled to present the final webinar in the series: Advocacy and Activism: How Social Justice Protests Represent a Momentous Opportunity for Students.

MANRRS invites you join the conversation and register today as virtual seats will fill up!

We can assure you nothing matters more to MANRRS than our mission to promote academic and professional advancement by empowering minorities in agriculture, natural resources, and related sciences. Our platform has the privilege and responsibility to be an advocate against racial injustice, a force for good, and an ally to all communities. We want to always be reminded it is our duty to be a positive influence for change.
