Laura:
- No tag for awards? Can't create a collection page, just used a random tag for now
- Should we remove about from subpage URLs? I believe most of these will be in the research library
- Do we need links at bottom if they are tagged?
- Review copy below for errors
- Review page settings for slug, access levels, description, title, etc.
Bobby/Gio:
- No images in graphics folder for Hero
- Review for look/feel/graphics/spacing/etc.
- May need to play around with blue header hero graphic, it does not appear properly. Also should it be black and white so it appears better with the blue overlay? Defer to you.
- Will need whatever ad images to go in ad block that will be relevant for Nov 4, please coordinate with Laura
