Our history is a tribute to the spirit and imagination of 6 collegiate men in the seventies, the movement of several collegiate men in the eighties, the collective efforts of 9 collegiate men in the nineties and the courage of 20 Scholars who founded the organization on Sunday July 16, 2006, in Memphis, Tennessee.
The Academia Society is beneficiary of the rich tradition and heritage of those movements that have provided this nation with many outstanding collegiate, alumni and professional men who are productive socially, civically, spiritually, mentally and morally.
As the Society grows, it keeps in balance one important theme: the importance of Academic Ability and Scholarly Efforts yielding Professional Results. As the world became more complex, there was a need for associations which cut across racial, geographical, political, physical and social barriers. The Academia Society’s influence extends beyond campus quads and student interest.
