Our Mission
"The goal of the Foundation is to facilitate initiatives of students, faculty members and staff members of University College Roosevelt and all that relates directly or indirectly to this or could stimulate it, all of this in its broadest sense."
Education is far more than just books, professors and exams. Elliott is a place that serves as a social hub, a center for all students as well as professors and staff members to come together and truly develop themselves – be this through working on group assignments, participating in activites like music performances, or through sharing a meal or drink. No UCR student will leave without treasured memories in this building.
With the continuous effort of a yearly elected board, several teams, and a volunteer base of more than 100 students, Elliott has grown to become what its founders envisioned: a lively and ambitious business, fully ran and operated by students. What makes Elliott especially unique is this dedication and enthusiasm from a large pool of student volunteers. From preparing sandwiches to pouring beer, without volunteers Elliott would just be an empty shell.
Elliott is located in a historic building very close to the main academic buildings. Elliott is fully equipped with a student restaurant, quiet study lounge, classrooms, meeting rooms, a bar and more.
We want to stimulate students further to share their thoughts, their experiences and their opinions, to encourage lively conversations and simple relaxation with friends – those intangible, non-graded aspects of an education that can make the years spent at a university truly exceptional. Elliott is a common living room for all students, because we feel that only through the added factor of a vibrant community one can truly make the most of university.
