Where You Can Use It

At the bottom of any page on the main SHSU.edu domain that includes a sidebar menu, such as academic and administrative department pages.

Use Cases

Use the Contact (Standard) component to display contact information for a specific department or other unit of SHSU such as its address, phone number, email address and/or social media links.

Only use the Visit card if you wish to provide directions to a physical address, and only use the Connect card to link to social media accounts for a specific department or organization (not the main SHSU accounts). The 2 custom cards can be used flexibly to display any other contact details and can be divided up however makes the most sense for that department.

To display contact information on a page that doesn’t have a sidebar menu, such as all pages on the Sam Houston Memorial Museum & Presidential Library site and the SHSU Physicians site, use the Contact (With Image) component instead.
