September 25, 2015
POCATELLO鈥斏ㄌ胊pp President Arthur C. Vailas accepted a John Deere Gator four-wheel-drive utility vehicle donated by Valerie and John Hoybjerg on Friday, Sept. 25, at 2:30 p.m. in front of the ISU Administration Building.
鈥淲e are grateful and happy to accept this gift from our great friends of the University, John and Valerie Hoybjerg,鈥 Vailas said. 鈥淭he new John Deere Gator will be put to good use, and will be of special benefit to people with disabilities touring the campus, allowing them much greater access to tour our fine campus and other facilities.鈥

The new John Deere Gator will be especially useful in allowing unrestricted access to the university campus when tours are conducted with individuals with limited mobility. In the past, these tours were conducted using a regular sedan, but those tours were restricted due to road access.

The Hoybjergs own and operate Christiansen Implement in American Falls. The Hoybjergs have been consistently involved with the University and Valerie serves as a member of the ISU Foundation Board of Directors. The Hoybjergs鈥 daughter, Anika, attended ISU earning a master鈥檚 degree in human exceptionality and an educational specialist degree.
鈥淲hat a privilege it is to make this gift to ISU,鈥 John Hoybjerg said. 鈥淲e love ISU and are grateful for it.鈥
