Emory University's Laney Graduate School LaTeX Dissertation Template

Official Unofficial LaTeX Template for Emory University (Laney Graduate School) Dissertations

There were several unofficial LaTeX templates floating around when I started writing my dissertation. They mostly got passed down from one graduate student to the next. Naturally, the templates all differed slightly and there was a lot of ugly LaTeX accumulating in the preamble. I decided to make an official unofficial template that abides by the ETD guidelines and was free of preamble bloat. This template is heavily based on another by Mckenzie Rachel West. It follows the ETD guidelines as of Spring 2019.

You can find this template on Overleaf.

How to use this template

1. Add the details about your dissertation in the INFORMATION section of ./main.tex
2. Place packages and custom commands in formatting/custom.tex
3. Write your abstract in special-pages/abstract.tex
4. Place references in references.bib
5. Each chapter should be a separate .tex file in the ./chapters directory. Be sure to \input{} your new chapters in the CHAPTERS section of ./main.tex
6. Place figures in the ./figures directory
7. Write your acknowledgements in special-pages/acknowledgements.tex (optional)
