December photo contest: Show us why you’re celebrating
#umReasonToCelebrate contest will run Monday, December 14 to Sunday, January 3, 2021
With 2020 came so many changes, challenges and new experiences that it was easy to be overwhelmed. As the holiday season approaches we are hoping to stop and reflect on some of the good. That is why for this month’s contest we want to see your reasons to celebrate. Whether it be a religious or cultural holiday, the end of a school term, or just a small daily triumph – all of it matters.
Post a photo on Instagram of how and what you are celebrating this year and use our hashtag #umReasonToCelebrate for a chance to win a $25 gift card to the UM Bookstore!
Our UM community is rich with diversity and we know that there are so many different ways to celebrate – we can’t wait to see what you’re celebrating!
And what are we celebrating this year? This one is easy – for us here at @umstudent we are celebrating YOU, our UM community! We are continually amazed by all of you, and we hope you can take a moment to celebrate yourself too.
