Honorees

Since the ASU Alumni Association began celebrating Founders' Day, the awards honor the institution's origins as well as showcase award recipients for their world-changing innovations.

The awards honor individuals who exemplify the spirit of the founders of the Territorial Normal School of Arizona, ASU’s predecessor institution as well as work to solve the challenges that will shape the world's future.

Congratulations to the 2012 Founders' Day Honorees!
