The Regional Conference held annually in the fall semester was established to
preserve the continuity of the individual MANRRS Chapters in various areas of
the country. At the conference, opportunities are provided for brainstorming amongst
chapters, conducting regional business, reviewing policy matters, networking,
attending leadership workshops, listening to a role model key note speaker, participate
in corporate/graduate school recruitment activities, and community building with
MANRRS members in our part of the country.

This conference held annually in the spring was similarly established for the
aforementioned purposes. However, this conference is specifically designed to
address the needs of the organization as a whole. The opportunities provided at
this conference are similar to those listed above. However, also included are
a host of contests for members to participate in and observe. Traditionally, members
of MANRA are only offered the opportunity to attend national conference once they
have agreed to participate in one of these contests.

Established as a method for MANRA to meet it's obligation to further educate the
Penn State community on diversity issues, A Multicultural Evening (traditionally
co-sponsored with the Undergraduate Student Government) provides an opportunity
for students to learn about and compare various cultures. Traditionally, food
and entertainment from numerous cultures are provided, along with information
about various ethnicities. A Multicultural Evening provides an open forum for
students from all cultural backgrounds to educate and be educated on the practices
of a variety of countries. Through observance and discussion we are also able
to assess how individual nations have contributed to the identity of the American
culture, and how individual of varying ethic origins are affected by the overall
American culture.
