Former DSU Student Wins Website Award

Posted on Friday, February 15, 2008

A former DSU Student has received the prestigious Gold Mouse Award. The award is given annually by the non-partisan Congressional Management Foundation. The group evaluates all Member, committee, and leadership Web sites, and recognizes the best Congressional Websites with Gold Mouse Awards.

South Dakota Senator John Thune's site was ranked number one out of 99 Senate websites. The site is managed and maintained by Dakota State University graduate Nic Budde, class of 2004. Budde is responsible for getting content for the site from the legislative staff on specific issues and posting all content to the web site.

This is the third time Senator Thune's website has been recognized by the CMF. Thune's site was described as one that was consistently maintained, content-rich, innovated and up to date.
