Dobro Slovo was established at UC Berkeley on October 29, 1926, to recognize academic achievements of Slavic students. In 1963 the National Slavic Honor Society – Dobro Slovo – was founded with the help and encouragement of the American Associaton of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages (AATSEEL). The present-day Society recognizes the academic excellence of students studying Slavic languages and literatures and helps to foster scholarly interest in Slavic life and culture.
