Section page with department banner

This hero page component contains a menu system with "sample links" that exist only to showcase the functionality of departmental banner navigation menu design component. Those links do not contain content that needs to be reviewed.

Overview

This sample page contains several components:

  • Department banner with navigation menu
  • Image boxes
  • Image list
  • Call to action
  • Events feed, from calendar.smu.edu
  • Stats

As I've done on a few other pages, I'm including some dummy text about botany as a placeholder.
