Nearly 200 University employees and community members joined President Kevin Satterlee on a 5K course through Pocatello鈥檚 campus last Saturday morning. Before the event, President Satterlee once again issued a challenge that, for every employee who beat him, he would personally donate $10 additional dollars to the scholarship fund. Twenty-two people beat him in the race, but President Satterlee opted to round up his donation to $1,000. All of the funds raised by the 5K were added to a permanent scholarship endowment.

鈥淭his fun run has become an annual tradition that brings together our campus community and, in the process, helps more students gain access to higher education,鈥� President Satterlee said. 鈥淲e need to stay focused on the needs of our students, and help them to achieve their dreams of an education.鈥�

In addition to funds raised through event registration and President Satterlee鈥檚 additional donation, Lookout Credit Union and the Portneuf Health Trust also each donated $15,000.
