10/11/12 — 24 Hours of UM-Flint Photos
For the first time on October 11, 2012, UM-Flint will document a full 24 hours in the life of the university. We’re asking our campus community to take pictures during a 24-hour period beginning at 12:00 a.m. on 10/11/12 and ending at 11:59:59 p.m.
We’re looking for pictures that show life on campus or anywhere in the world where there is a UM-Flint connection. If you’re reading this, you’re part of that campus community and we need your help. So grab a camera, a cellphone, any device you have that can take a photo, and submit your images through a number of social media channels. It’s really that simple.
Check back during the day on 10/11/12 to see all the images that will be pouring in. When the event is all over, we will put together a slideshow of the best images that truly represent the day. Your work could be featured.
100 years from now when the world marks the next 10/11/12, the UM-Flint community will have our photography event to reflect upon. Join us as we prepare to give the future our present.

Tips for Success
You don’t have to be a great photographer to make an impact on 10/11/12. We’re looking for authentic pictures that truly capture the UM-Flint experience. Here are some tips for success when taking pictures for the “day in the life” project on 10/11/12:
- Avoid staging pictures. We are looking for authentic, real moments.
- Get permission to take pictures in class from your professor ahead of time
- When you submit pictures through Twitter or Instagram, remember to use the hashtag #umflint24. Tag photos in Flickr with "umflint24" as well.
- Whenever possible, please submit the time the picture was taken so we can keep track of the day chronologically
- You don’t have to be on campus to take pictures. You can be anywhere doing something on behalf of UM-Flint. It’s important to show that the university goes far beyond the borders of the physical campus.
