Elliott Society
The Elliot Society is a Community Service Based University Wide Honorary dedicated to social justice. This University Honorary demonstrates Elliot’s own dedication to justice and membership into the society is one of the highest honors at The University of Alabama.
The Elliott Society is named in honor of the late Carl Atwood Elliott, a former University of Alabama SGA President who later became an Alabama congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives. He based his political principles on assistance to the needy, racial tolerance, and better educational opportunities to all. His works in Congress especially focused on education. Two very notable acts Elliott co-authored include The Library Services Act of 1956 and the National Defense Education Act of 1958.
The University of Alabama Carl A. Elliot Society recognizes students, faculty, and alumni who have made significant leadership contributions to the campus, community, state, and nation in areas of social and cultural progress and who portray a spirit of the ideals held by Congressman Elliott.
The group works together to help better society through group and individual efforts in community service and much more!
