Highlights

This block highlights research and creative scholarship with images and links. Heading should be in the form of "[heading] highlights", or simply "Highlights" (e.g. Research highlights, Student project highlights, Internship highlights).

The "See more" link should be in the form of "See more [heading]" (e.g. See more internships, See more highlights, See more research).

Please note that this block is designed to span the full width of a viewport, and doesn't display well on a site's main landing page. This is because that page has no left-hand navigation and a full-width block will take up much more space than the other blocks on that page.

Also, adding two or more of these blocks on the same page is not recommended as this block is meant to stand out from the rest of the content on the page. Having more than one of this block on a page is visually overbearing and makes the content of each less of a 'highlight.'
