The Overheard content type is available for the Alumni branch of the web site. It can be used to feature a quote, blog post, social post, video, or image, and can be positioned in any one-column region or a two-column grid.
When you add one or more Overheard content items to a section, or when using the Overheard Carousel display, be sure to also add the "Overheard CSS & Javascript" content type as well - one of these will be needed in the section in order to handle the custom styles and javascript interaction built into the Overheard module.
This page provides examples of the display options in each of the five Overheard content options, and additional pages include examples of the color scheme options and the Overheard carousel.
