+# Table Examples
+
+This is a simplified repository of some SCSS and Handlebars files that we use for the styling of tables for Student Life websites. Everything is built off of Bootstrap as a foundation, then some adjustments to add horizontal scrolling for mobile devices.
+
+The _variables.scss_ file includes all of the different SASS variables referenced in the tables and table-head file.
+
+If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me at [dornr@purdue.edu](mailto:dornr@purdue.edu).
