Roger Hoy, professor of biological systems engineering, has received the University of Nebraska-Lincoln James V. Griesen Exemplary Service to Students Award. Hoy earned the honor for his work mentoring and teaching students as a faculty member and director of the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory. His dedication is reflected in how Hoy mentored student Caleb Lindhorst, who was involved in a life-altering car accident. Doctors were unsure if Lindhorst would ever be able to continue to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
