Reuse, contributions, and collaborations

[cfarm]

Do you know of an example of open source software / code / design at CFPB that..

Not exactly code re-use, but in March 2016 a professor at Oklahoma State assigned his class of 200 Agriculture Economics students to write a class paper on planning for their retirement, and required them to use /retirement/before-you-claim/ to do so. From his feedback:

Thanks for putting this page together. It worked perfect for us, as it was so simple and easy to use but also provided valuable information.
