What exactly did you google and where was that URL? It's a google URL
pointing to the schools wikipedia URL, probably so they can monitor
who clicks on external links, or something. The last bit is probably a
session ID, it's like using cookies but puts the info on the end of
the URL instead of in a separate file.
