At last night’s SSMU Awards, OverheardAtMcGill.com was chosen as this year’s Website of the Year. We’re extremely proud of the recognition.

More than any other medium, our success is contingent on your engagement, and the sheer volume of participatory eavesdropping that this site has chronicled and encouraged in merely the last eight months is astounding. With over 100,000 visitors, we’ve been blessed with great success, and look forward to expanding next year.

P.S. It appears that the award shown above was stolen during post-Award celebrations at Biftek. So, if you happen to overhear someone talking about having stolen the Overheard at McGill Website of the Year award, be sure to submit it to the site, preferably with some contact information.
