Elaina

Hi!  I am Elaina Burt and I am a freshman at the University of Alabama majoring in Public Relations on a Pre-Law track. As the founder of my 501c3 non-profit, Charlie's Chance, I have discovered my passion for advocacy and outreach. It is this passion that sparked my journey of self-discovery here at the Capstone and continues to inspire my daily path.​

 

Here on-campus at UA, I am involved in numerous activities. I am a part of the sisterhood of the Nu Beta chapter of Chi Omega sorority, a member of Freshman Forum, and a part of the Honors College...just to name a few.  I love this campus and all that the University of Alabama has to offer and I look forward to serving our students with my whole heart! ROLL TIDE!

​

Through the microphone of several organizations I've been blessed to be a part of, I have had the opportunity to advocate for causes I believe in throughout the entire State of Alabama, including on-campus here at UA.  I have partnered with student organizations, educated over 2,800 individuals on Seizure First Aid, founded a fundraising gala, created a network of community media contacts, collaborated with the Governor of Alabama, and raised over $95,000 for the Epilepsy Foundation of Alabama...but my greatest accomplishment is the profound and empowering relationships that have been created along the way. I'm forever thankful!

​

This is only the beginning of my journey at the University of Alabama. There is such power that comes from a group of open-minded, goal-oriented, passionate individuals uniting for a common goal and my hope is to be surrounded by and immersed in a community filled with these individuals during my time here at the Capstone.​
