Nebraska Wesleyan employees who volunteer on the Prairie Wolf Pantry Board were awarded NWU's Golden Service Award at the January 2026 staff meeting.
The group of Maddi Baugous, Adrian Gomez Ramos, Susy Miller, Jody Navratil, Rachel Pokora, and Lisa Borchardt work behind the scenes to provide food and supplies for students, staff, and faculty.
The Prairie Wolf Pantry's mission is to contribute to the overall health and wellness of the campus community by providing free access to nutritious food options. From managing the pantry to solidifying a partnership with the Food Bank of Lincoln to help sustain the Prairie Wolf Pantry with dairy and other staple products to attendance at the Nebraska Campus Pantry Coalition meetings, members of this board have gone above and beyond in demonstrating their care for the campus community.
The Golden Service Award promotes Nebraska Wesleyan’s core values by recognizing and awarding staff and faculty working as a group and demonstrating cross-departmental collaborations, whose efforts and contributions as a group significantly exceed expectations in demonstrating or promoting one or more of these values: excellence, liberal arts, and personal attention to students, diversity, community, and stewardship.
Congratulations to these individuals and thank you for your service and dedication to our community.
