Background
Elliott I. Organick served fifteen years at the University of Utah, tirelessly helping shape the Department's
academic and research programs. In addition, he brought recognition and honor to the Department through his prolific
writing, his unstinting professional service, and the warmth of his humanity.
Upon his passing in 1985 many of his friends, colleagues and former students established a permanent memorial,
the Elliott I. Organick Endowment. This endowment enhances the Computer Science environment in Utah through a pair
of lectures which are the highlight public events of each academic year.
