The Oaks Society represents service and generosity and has special meaning at ASU. In 1949, oak trees were planted in front of what is now the Mayer Administration Building in memory and honor of each of the 30 former students who lost their lives in World War II. In their own ways, Oaks Society members have opportunities to leave their own legacies at ASU.
