Featured Item
The Featured Item content type provides the opportunity to highlight a particular piece of content e.g. an academic.
In larger viewports, the image can be set to either be on the left (default) or the right. In smaller vieports, the image will be above the copy, regardless of left/right orientation.
Note: This is intented to be used sparingly (ideally once in a page) as the heading styles are not the standard font (Verdana as opposed to Georgia).
