6.22 Unit Spotlights
The Unit Spotlight blocks allow units to 'spotlight' a student, faculty member, or staff member. Spotlights should be used to spotlight a specific accomplishment or achievement. A person can have multiple spotlights.
Spotlights can be added to any page and depending on the filters that are selected in the listing, the block can display spotlights from multiple departments. The spotlight listing block can filter by classification (student, fac/staff), keywords, academic unit, and/or department.
