When using an ASCIIbetical ordering (which most computers use), special characters come before numbers.  The first displayable character in ASCII (other than Space, which usually is either disallowed or ignored) is actually "!".  Therefore, I recommend "!University of Michigan".

An EECS friend of mine used this trick for a long time on Facebook - he added a "!" to the start of his last name, so whenever someone looked at their friends list he would be at the top.  It worked until they caught it and "fixed" his name for him.
