This is the place where you can show appreciation for an individual or group of people who have supported you throughout your journey. The entire dedication should be single spaced and centered vertically and horizontally on the page, just like this text.\n\u000f\nThe optional epigraph is a quotation that serves to introduce or set the stage for understanding the content of the thesis. Be sure to include the author and source of your quotation. This page is not intended to be a restatement of your thesis title. The entire epigraph should be single spaced and centered vertically and horizontally on the page, just like this text.\nType quotation author’s name here\nType title of work where quotation is from here\nACKNOWLEDGMENTS\nThis optional element is the place to include both personal and professional thanks. You might include your thesis supervisor and committee members, faculty and staff who’ve helped you, lab mates, funding bodies, family, and friends. Begin with your most formal thanks and work your way down to friends and family. Allow plenty of time to craft this section of your thesis.\n\u000f\nABSTRACT\nYour abstract is the reader’s first introduction to your thesis. It is a standalone piece of writing aimed at drawing the reader into your work. Although there is not a word limit for the abstract, make sure your writing is concise. Because it’s standalone, avoid citing others’ work in this text. With the exception of DMA and MFA students, all students must include an abstract.\n\u000f\nPUBLIC ABSTRACT\nWhile your thesis is aimed at a specific audience—most immediately your committee members, but also those doing work in your field— the public abstract asks you to shift your perspective to a broader view and present your work in a more far-reaching way.\nThe public abstract is a concise statement of your research, presented in a way that’s accessible to a broader audience. It allows readers outside your field—be they grant funders, legislators, scholars from other disciplines, or simply those who might have an interest—to better understand your work. The public abstract encourages cross-discipline collaboration, and it can support greater public engagement with your work. The public abstract serves as a bridge, connecting your scholarship with a more far-reaching audience.\nThe public abstract should succinctly explain the purpose, outcomes, and significance of your work: aim for 250 words or fewer. Its structure should be straightforward, and it should follow a logical reading order. Use shorter sentences and try to write in the active voice. If possible, avoid unnecessary jargon and technical language. Consider checking the reading level of your work after you’ve completed it (highlight your public abstract text and then go to Editor > Insights > ‘Document stats’ to check the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level). As you write, think about ways to make your research relevant to your readers.\nAll students must include a public abstract.\n\u000f\nTABLE OF CONTENTS\n\u0013 TOC \\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\t \"Heading 1 No Number,1\" \u0014\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc208403044\" \u0014LIST OF TABLES\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc208403044 \\h \u0014ix\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc208403045\" \u0014LIST OF FIGURES\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc208403045 \\h \u0014x\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc208403046\" \u0014CHAPTER 1: HEADING STYLES\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc208403046 \\h \u00141\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc208403047\" \u00141.1.
