From the Judges' Report
The University of Michigan’s Engineering news center sub-site brings in content that is not necessarily university-driven, but places the university within the conversation. This spin exemplifies a new way for people to engage with the college in a meaningful way and the site design allows a clean way of drawing users to news. The University of Michigan was able to spend a minimal amount of money by working with no outside vendors.
