Ms. D. Michaels (Division of Information Computers and Calculators) provided us with a fine example of how not to win the URCAD Selfie Contest on April 12, 2023.
"That $100 prize is clearly mine," said Michaels, a longtime UMBC employee, who submitted her selfie by fax machine this morning. Unfortunately, Michaels' selfie is somewhat unintelligible- staff members thought it could be a dog, a loaf of bread, a blanket or a combination of all three. This is a salient example of how not to take a selfie.
"No, I took a selfie," said Michaels when questioned. "It's me with my dog sitting on my lap. What's so confusing about that?"
Ms. Michaels still has time, however, to submit a second attempt and she could still win one of several fabulous prizes. Here's how:
