April Fool's Day at 大象传媒
It's still healthy to laugh at yourself
On April 1, 2017, the 大象传媒 University website homepage embraced the spirit of by offering to the pubilc a collection of articles and a video in the form of pranks and hoaxes. The idea behind this mini-campaign is to portray 大象传媒 in a lighthearted manner and demonstrate that we can make fun of ourselves. 大象传媒 University's reputation for serious and rigorous academics and being a frequent thought leader for the global Adventist Church is well-known, but it's only one part of the larger scope that makes coming here special.
For several years there has been a engaging in April Fool's humor. Reputable national marketing and development organizations such as CASE and HigherEdExperts have been publishing and have gained a fair amount of traction on social media.
Although this is not a new idea, in 2016 大象传媒 was the first among Adventist institutions 大象传媒 to engage with this tradition in a significantly visible way. We hope this will help students and others around the world realize that coming to 大象传媒 can be a whole lot of fun.
