Fewer than 15 percent of entries – which came from more than 60 countries and all 50 states – were chosen to receive the honor.

The Webby Awards honor the outstanding work that is setting the standards for the Internet,said David-Michel Davies, executive director of the Webby Awards.The selection of nd.edu as an official honoree is a testament to the skill, ingenuity and vision of its creators.

It features a layered, multimedia experience that gives users immediate access to the voices and stories of engaged students and accomplished researchers, prominently utilizing a revolving carousel of video features designed to accommodate the changing way visitors seek and absorb information.
