Originally the Department of Commerce, the Business curriculum
was expanded for teachers of commercial subjects and for those interested in
business careers. Emil John Hilkert served as dean for 6 months, although
Glenn D. Overman was responsible for the establishment of most Business College
programs and is generally recognized as the "Founding Dean."
William Polk Carey's $50 million gift to the School of Business from the W. P. Carey Foundation
is the largest single gift in the history of ASU. Carey is chairman of W. P. Carey & Co. LLC (NYSE: WPC),
a New York City-based investment firm. He is also the grandson of John Samuel Armstrong, who, 118 years ago
on Feb. 26 filed the legislation that created the school that became ASU.
