DMC Intramurals is holding an event called "The DMC Weight Loss Challenge," open to DMC students and employees Monday, Sept. 13 through Thursday, Dec. 2.
For this challenge, those who are participating must form teams made up of students and faculty members and each team must be composed of three employees and two students. Team rosters are due by 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 8.
The purpose, according to Charissa Heck, head of Intramurals, is "to encourage our staff and students to jump start a healthy lifestyle."
"DMC started this event because obesity is an epidemic and we as a community need to start being proactive and learning how to eat healthier and live a more active lifestyle," Heck added.
Students and faculty can contact Heck at 361/698-1336 for rules and additional information.
