Everyone here today is not just about celebrating themselves, but also everyone else around them and what they were able to ac- complish in this challenge.” Ziegler said the event helped her truly understand and see how invest- ed Northwest was in its employees. The University showed its support by providing a healthy lunch and raf- fl ing off prizes during the celebration. “This challenge really embodies the idea that Bearcats care because this event really shows that North- west cares about its employees in all aspects, both mentally and physical- ly,” Ziegler said. “This event really shows how much the University really cares about us as faculty and staff and really kind of sets Northwest apart from your typical university.” Multimedia Specialist Todd Wed- dle believed the challenge really en- compassed the idea and feeling of community that Northwest has. “I think this challenge really goes back to the family atmosphere that we have here,” Weddle said. “Everyone is in this together and it became a really good bonding experience, and that’s really what ANNASTASIA TUTTLE | NW MISSOURIAN Northwest is all about.” Th e Maintain No Gain project was centered around making it through the holiday season without gaining any weight.
