NYU and Drupal: A Case Study for Drupal and Health Education

In the .edu sector, technology is most times an afterthought, where funding does not match expectations. This session will walk through the process of how NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing used Drupal 8 to bring technology from an afterthought to the forefront of our business. The presentation will show how the power of Drupal 8, component based theming, and some ingenious programing surpassed expectations while meeting budget and timeline. 

Also, we will discuss how we leveraged the work done on nursing.nyu.edu to build a different website for NYU Global Public Health to keep costs at bay. 

We will show how we used:

• Component based theming 
• The paragraphs module
• Integrations with internal NYU systems
• YAML (Webforms)
• The power of Composer
• Custom access control for highly specialized roles
