We are Tenants, Not Owners
When Carl '65 and Carol (Bjornseth) '83 Wall, Fargo, N.D., outlined their personal financial plans, they decided to will a percentage of their estate to Concordia in addition to making current gifts to the college. More on We are Tenants, Not Owners >>.

"There was a drive on to build the bell tower, and my husband, a civil engineer, became interested in it. We didn't have a lot of cash, but we had that car, so we thought, why not give the Porsche to Concordia?" More on Deeds Farm >>.
