Founders Day & Old Main Society Celebration 2021

Each year at Founders Day, Utah State University celebrates the steadfast and visionary men and women who sacrificed to establish our great institution and honors those who today sacrifice to ensure a world of opportunity for future generations eager to achieve their hopes and dreams.
Old Main, affectionately remembered by succeeding generations of students and characterized by the bell tower, has been a distinctive icon of Utah State University for all who have walked its halls as students, faculty, or guests. The Old Main Society was established in 1967 to recognize those who have risen to the challenge of the founders and assisted the university through their private gifts. We thank and honor those individuals who selflessly contribute their time and resources for the future of Utah State
