The Harvard Gazette, which is Harvard’s official newspaper, has recently relaunched their site, and is now powered by WordPress:

Highlighting faculty research, administrative staff, students, and events – this is a great example of a complete site that you can build with WordPress. Congrats to the team at Harvard for building such as great site.
It’s also exactly in sync with the feedback we are hearing from the publishing community. Many of you have shared with us your exciting plans to take advantage of the flexibility and power of WordPress to build your next-generation full sites on this platform. It’s going to make for a very exciting next few months !

Good to see another “Gazette” get into the WordPress game – welcome! We’ve had WordPress as our platform since August ’09 and it has been a tremendous cost saver and provided us with vastly more flexibility. http://www.gazetteonline.com/.
I made the right decision to switch from blogger to WordPress. Yay!
