This year we decided to have a little fun for April Fools Day. We decided that a degree in “Reflective Science” would be appropriate for a University. Of course we don’t have and don’t plan on offering a degree in reflective science but it did catch some attention. The link we gave out went to wayne.edu but all the content was flipped horizontally.

We initially sent it out through Twitter then Facebook. From there it got re-tweeted a few times and even picked up by our (soon to be announced) wayne state bloggers.

The click through rate on the link was 385 at last count. Considering it took us just 15 minutes to get the page setup it provided a great discussion between students, faculty and staff.

Along with the hundreds of other Web pranks that went on this year, ours was included in the list of all 2009 April Fools Jokes. Feel free to find it a vote it up if you enjoyed it.
