On July 21st the eduStyle High-er Web Awards were announced in Chicago, IL.  These awards were given to the colleges and universities with the best web sites.  Categories included: Best Overall Web Site, Best Home Page, Most Innovative, Best Prospective Students or Admissions Site, and many more. 

American University’s new web site stood out and was recognized as a leader in college web strategy.  AU won Best Overall Web Site and Best Use of Interactive Media by sweeping the two subcategories in each division.  These categories included the people’s choice award and the judges’ award. The Best Use of Interactive Media award was given to us thanks to American’s new DiscoverAU virtual tour.  Interested in taking the award-winning virtual tour?  Now’s your chance!  Just click this link, and then click the yellow “take the virtual tour” banner.  

"These awards are significant because they bring us great national recognition among higher education audiences," said Teresa Flannery, AU's executive director of University Communications and Marketing. "EduStyle is an organization that focuses exclusively on the higher education Web environment, and they are tough to impress."  These awards are thanks to “how well our colleagues in information technology and university communications work together at AU to lead the university's Web strategy,” Flannery said.

Other school winners include: University of Texas at Austin, Imperial College London, the College of William & Mary, Humboldt State University, Texas A&M University, amongst others.  If you want the entire list of winners, you can find it here.
