$50 million donation to ASU renames nursing college, funds dementia research

The university's spate of big donations in the past year includes $25 million from the W. P. Carey Foundation.

This latest big-money gift comes as ASU has seen an increase in high-dollar funders in the past year. Dean Amy Hillman says the school has done a "very good job" using the initial gift in 2003, and the foundation's donating big again confirms it. "I know we’ve improved," she says of the school's progress since then. But there's always more to do to get better, and the $25-million gift will allow for further improvement."
