Tallassee twins win big in national contest highlighting importance of diversity and inclusion

(Submitted) Jr. MANRRS members Wendell and Hannah Padgett, from Tallassee, received awards for their submissions to AU's Jr. MANRRS theme and essay contests.

Student leaders in Auburn University’s Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences, or MANRRS, chapter were honored recently for their entries in three components of the nonprofit organization’s national contest.

Sabine Bailey, a master’s degree student in the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences and social media chair of Auburn’s MANRRS chapter, earned first place in the Social Media Campaign Challenge for her submission, “Rethinking Diversity.” She won both the regional and national contests, earning the chapter $1,250 to support programs that will expand on-campus resources and outreach.
