+[[!template id=gitrepo repo=drexel-thesis]]
+
+Drexel, like every other academic institution, has very particular
+standards for the format of a Masters or Ph.D. Thesis.  The library
+publishes a [requirements manual][].  The [[LaTeX]] wisdom of
+generations of grad students has been assembled into the
+`drexel-thesis` class which you, dear reader, can use to easily format
+your thesis.
+
+I'm the current maintainer, so besides the [post][] in the department
+wiki, I'm including a page in this blog.
+
+Your compiled thesis will look something like [[example.pdf]] (or, in
+draft mode, [[example-draft.pdf]]).  Take a look at the
+[[manual|manual.pdf]] to get started.  You might also want to look at
+how I've used the class in my own [[thesis]].
