Faculty Spotlight component

The Faculty Spotlight component provides an all-in-one platform for the department to showcase its faculty members in a clean and unified layout. The component can hold up to 10 faculty members' profiles in its repository and randomly display up to 4 profile(s) depending on the screen size on the visitor's device.

The Faculty Spotlight is pre-loaded onto the Department Landing template and cannot be removed. If you have it configured but would like to unconfigure it, please reach out to us and we will be able to help you out.
