Several weeks after Bama Memes clogged students’ Facebook feeds with incorrectly-used meme jokes, the Office of University Relations has released several memes of its own in an attempt to better relate to students.
According to a UA spokeswoman, University Relations convened a fifteen-member panel — all white men over the age of 60 — to write memes to circulate around campus. For student input, the group allowed newly-elected SGA President Matt Calderone to serve as an ex-officio member of the panel.
“I’m confident we used all the memes correctly,” Calderone said. “A majority of students will be able to relate to these jokes.”
University Relations hopes the campaign will serve to better the image of the University.
“These mee-mees are just fun,” a University spokeswoman said. “They’re hip. It’s what the kids are doing these days. We at the University of Alabama are always ahead of the curve when it comes to communicating with the average student — who, I’d like to add, is a Rhodes Scholar.”
The Crimson White obtained several advance copies of the memes University Relations intends to publish. Each has been verified by two or more anonymous sources.
