A photograph taken at an indoor event features three subjects: a young man in a black polo shirt, a person in a red bird mascot costume, and a distinguished gentleman in a suit. The event appears to be associated with Millersville University, as indicated by the T-shirt held by the mascot, which reads "Millersville University One Day Give." The young man on the left, wearing a name tag and a black polo shirt with "Cygnus" embroidered on it, stands smiling with his hands clasped in front of him. The red bird mascot in the center holds up the Millersville University T-shirt with its blue-gloved wings. The gentleman on the right, dressed in a dark suit, white shirt, and patterned tie, holds up a pair of blue socks featuring an illustration of a campus building. The setting includes a banner with the word "VOTE" partially visible in the background, suggesting an engagement or donation drive. Behind them, a sign reading "The Writing" is seen, indicating the event is taking place in a writing center or academic space. There are also students sitting and working in the background.
