Over the weekend, our students joined on the Illinois Lights Out event💡The goal of this event was to reduce the amount of energy used on campus by going around campus and turning off the lights of buildings. We can’t wait to continue contributing to the positive effects of sustainability.💡

Go Zach 🧡💙

Zachary Gonzalez, ACE freshman studying agribusiness markets and management, attended the 38th Annual MANRRS Conference in Chicago last month🌆

The National Society for Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS) is a student organization that promotes leadership development, enhances academic skills, facilitates networking, and fosters diversity in the food, agricultural, and related sciences🙌

"Attending the 38th Annual MANRRS Conference was an incredible experience that showcased the power of community and professional growth. MANRRS has been like a second family to me and has provided me with opportunities to network with professionals and gain valuable insights into the future of agriculture."
