Jo Ann Garaas Skabo and Dr. Robert Skabo

Life has led us to places and opportunities we never could have imagined while growing up in a small town in northwestern North Dakota. The foundations for our successful professional careers in education and health-related fields were laid in this, our home state, where we received our undergraduate degrees. We are fortunate to find ourselves with the resources to fund this endowment in support of NDSU students. We do this in gratitude and tribute to those who have mentored and inspired us along the way; and challenge others to do the same for future generations of students.
