CAFNR Student Programs, Clubs and Orgs
CAFNR and its academic units support underrepresented students through a variety of programs and groups, as well as dedicated funding.
The mission of MANRRS is to promote academic and professional advancement by empowering minorities in agriculture, natural resources, and related sciences.
The peer-mentoring program, COMPASS, promotes academic success, persistence, and successful graduation of participating students. The program matches incoming historically underrepresented freshmen and transfer students with returning students who will serve as their mentors for an 8-week formal program to help students meet their educational goals. For more information on COMPASS, contact Samniqueka Halsey, samniquekahalsey@missouri.edu.
The International Engagement Program for Graduate Students connects international graduate students with their peers. For more information on the International Engagement Program, contact Kerry Clark, clarkk@missouri.edu.
