Attend George Washington Carver Legacy Innovation and Leadership Awards Symposium
Happy November from the College of Agriculture/K-State Research and Extension Diversity Programs Office.
In conjunction with the 2021 K-State Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Related Sciences, or MANRRS, Week Nov. 15-19, the annual Dr. George Washington Carver Legacy Innovation and Leadership Awards Symposium will take place. The K-State College of Agriculture, in partnership with symposium host Lincoln University, Tuskegee University, Iowa State University and Simpson College, invite the public to celebrate Carver's legacy at 11:30 a.m. CST on Nov. 18. The event will be virtual; please register prior to the event.
The Carver symposium will involve a renowned panel speaking on the theme, "Minority Land Loss and Restorative Justice." We will also recognize Sanders Barbee, K-State junior in agricultural economics and K-State MANRRS Chapter current secretary, as a 2021 Dr. George Washington Carver Legacy and Innovation Award recipient at the event. Sanders is a distinguished student as she is highly involved on campus as a DPO peer mentor, K-State Food and Ag Policy fellow, Conservation and Sustainability fellow for Kansas Grain Sorghum, vice president of Cats' Cupboard Ambassadors and a Food Security scholar. We are excited that Sanders will be representing K-State in receiving this distinguished title at the 2021 Dr. George Washington Carver Legacy Innovation and Leadership Awards Symposium on Nov. 18. We hope to see you at the event.
