Story: Feature

Highlight a Grinnellian Story

Story: Feature lets you highlight a single story — with a great image, quote, and attribution — on one page while linking out to a more in-depth story. To give users several stories at once, consider the Carousel: Stories component instead.

Set up your Story first so it's available for you to embed.

Story: Feature can be added standard or full width.

An Intentional Community

This is what an intro looks like.

Why would I go somewhere that doesn’t feel the way Grinnell feels? I knew I wanted to be in an intentional community — with individuals who were both focused on their academics and dedicated to creating a supportive environment.
