Prizes awarded in ‘I Love UNMC’ contest

The “I Love UNMC” contest prize drawing couldn’t have come at a better time for Eric White.

The graphic artist in UNMC’s Printing Services said he was feeling a little pudgy on Friday. Then he found out he won the “I Love UNMC” contest’s health and wellness package, as part of the January random drawing.

“Right now, I feel fat. After winning this prize, I will feel skinny and healthy,” White said, kiddingly.
