The link looks good but it’s not exactly what I had in mind. I was hoping for it to be more like the example attached.

So, when you click on the People Page it brings up all staff in order of duration, no departments. Just the large photos, names in HARTE green that you can hover over and see their bio (like the example you sent me before). Then a drop down option on the top right hand side with a list of departments that when clicked on will bring it to the same larger photos and bios but for that department only.
