Unfortunately This Was Not An April Fools Joke
April 1, 2010 at 11:50 am
Our inboxes were flooding this morning with news of this most hilarious listserv gaffe. It's been a while since we've seen one this memorable.
It all started when a College of Arts and Crafts Sciences administrator sent out an email notifying College seniors that their "Commencement Announcements" were available for pick up. An unknowing senior responded, unaware that collegegrads@sas was in fact a listserv. Predictably, absurdity ensued. The best of it after the jump.

Be sure to stop by 120 Cohen Hall (the South Hallway) by this Friday (April 2) from 2-4 pm to pick up your Commencement Announcements. Each student will be given 8 announcements with envelopes. If more are needed, students can return next week to pick up more.
