About
In 1885, when George and Martha Wilson of Tempe donated farmland for the Arizona Territorial Normal School, they couldn't imagine what would grow as a result of their generosity. In 1887, when the cornerstone was laid to build Old Main on what would become the Tempe campus of ASU, no one envisioned the three campuses that would follow, or that ASU degree and research programs would circle the globe in location and renown. But they all began with a single gift, and a single cornerstone.
ASU's Cornerstone Society represents just that kind of generosity, that kind of vision; the commitment of alumni and friends that spans nearly 130 years, and has empowered Arizona State University to accomplish great things.
