List Stripe Widget

List Stripe Example
What the vt.edu List Strip looks like, showing the heading, list, and call to action button.

The following component structure and classes applied to components will create the same type of appearance as the Virginia Tech Daily section of the vt.edu home page. Although the classes are specific in name, they can be applied to the same structure and set of classes with different content.
