WHEN AND WHERE TO USE THEM

  • They can be used when you want to emphasize the importance of an event, content, or material that follows.
  • It is especially effective when prompting the user to take an action.
  • You want to use these titles to call special attention to a section.
  • Use only one section title per page. Section titles are not meant for organizing content; use headings for that purpose instead.
  • If you are organizing your content in columns and you want to use these section titles, use them only if you are using two or three columns.

Headings are used to identify and organize content in a clear, structural hierarchy. In contrast, Section Titles are primarily used to draw attention or visually stylize specific parts of the page for emphasis or design purposes.

Examples and recommendations

This is an example of how to work with section titles (example page cpb/Graduate & Postdoc Training)

Prospective graduate students: There are multiple options for students to pursue graduate studies through the Center for Plant Biology. Students need to apply and be accepted into the lab of a CPB faculty member through one of the nine affiliated graduate programs at Purdue. See below for more details on the affiliated programs and how to apply.

Prospective postdocs: Postdoctoral positions are handled by individual CPB faculty. Prospective postdocs should reach out to those CPB faculty members they are interested in working with to inquire about opportunities. We advise reaching out at least six months in advance of when you are available to start.

Once accepted, a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher--known in the CPB as a trainee--is automatically given membership to the CPB, no extra application needed.

AT THE CPB, WE INVEST IN TRAINEES LIKE YOU

All graduate students in programs affiliated with the CPB are fully funded with packages that include:

  • A base annual 12-month salary of at least $28,000.00 (some programs are more), paid biweekly
  • A graduate tuition remission, currently valued at $35,650.00 annually, to cover tuition costs.
  • An annual medical insurance premium contribution that pays a portion of the Graduate Staff Insurance, the value of which is currently estimated at $1,755.83 per year. Purdue pays this portion directly to the insurance carrier, which covers a portion of the total cost. Students are responsible for paying their portion, estimated at $56.86 per month, directly to the insurance carrier.

Funding is made available to graduate students through their programs, departments, teaching assistantships, research assistantships, fellowships, and/or other sources through their advisors.

Postdoc salaries and funding sources are determined on an individual basis by CPB faculty. The minimum salary at Purdue is $47,500.00. Postdocs are eligible to receive staff medical benefits. Additional information and resources are available to help guide international postdocs.

Fellowships are merit-based awards of funding for training, travel, and tuition. They might provide a trainee with a greater salary.

PURDUE GRAD Recruitment (internal) fellowships

After applying to one or more graduate programs at Purdue, students’ applications are automatically considered for internal fellowships. Prospective students who are offered an internal fellowship will receive a fellowship offer letter with their offer of admission to Purdue. See the Purdue Graduate School’s Fellowship FAQs page for additional information on fellowships.

External GRAD fellowships

External fellowships, though not affiliated with Purdue Agriculture, also support students through funding. This tool will help prospective and current students identify opportunities to apply for outside fellowships. It is recommended that prospective students discuss intentions to apply for external fellowships when they contact faculty of interest.

postdoctoral fellowships

Information on postdoctoral fellowship opportunities is available through the Office for Postdoctoral Scholars.

Section Titles are used to draw attention to specific areas of your content and help guide readers through the page. To make the most of these titles, keep the following best practices in mind.

Eyebrow Background Black

Keep it concise and engaging
The length of your title matters. Aim for short, meaningful phrases that spark interest and clearly reflect the content that follows. A well-crafted title can draw users in and encourage them to explore further.

Eyebrow Background Gold

Be aware of the visual impact
The line beneath the title adjusts to the length of your text. A longer title will create a longer line, which can affect the visual rhythm of your layout. Look for balance to maintain a clean and readable page.

Pennant Background Black

Use action-oriented language when appropriate
Section titles are especially effective when encouraging users to take action, whether it's exploring a topic, signing up, or navigating to another section. Use verbs and active phrasing to prompt engagement.

FAQ

Q: Can I use more than one Section Title on a page?
A: No. We recommend using just one to maintain clarity and focus.

Q: Should I use Section Titles without any supporting content?
A: No. Section Titles are meant to highlight specific content on a page. Using them without supporting information can confuse readers.
