Commentary Feature
This element is something that Fordham can rotate out to highlight a resource of something very topical. The feature itself is “showing” Fordham-National policy work while the supporting copy is “telling” the user about Fordham-national policy work.

We have compiled some excellent suggestions—updated several times since initial publication—for making at least some of that time educational.
