April 21, 2006 -- Marilyn Hummelstein of Jonesboro, chair of the Arkansas State University Foundation, Inc., board of directors, gives the dedicatory address Friday for the Legacy Society Wall of Honor.

The wall, which recognizes alumni and friends who have given lasting gifts to ASU through various planned giving methods, is located in the main foyer of the Dean B. Ellis Library. Approximately 125 people attended, including Legacy Society members, emeriti faculty, Foundation board members, university trustees, alumni, students, faculty, and staff.

The Legacy Society members’ lasting gifts "ensure the vitality of student and faculty support, enrichment of academic programs, and improvement of campus facilities," according to the inscription at the top of the wall, which draws its design from the university’s historic arch.
