Thanks for all your help, one last question. I've been through the University Theme "How to Build" and it's been super helpful. I did not see how to set up the NEWS AND EVENTS block on the homepage. (see attached image) I know it is created by a view, I just need your settings so the CSS styles will match up.
Also, this block will pull in the EVENTS content type and NEWS items? I did not see a NEWS content type.
thanks for your help
