\printdraft{\textcolor{gray}\small DRAFT} % In order to use this

% before final printing.
\author(First Name Last Name) % Name required.
\title(Manuscript Title) % Title of dissertation Required.
\titlesize(12)(12) % This is for changing

% more than one line.
% Default is equivalent
% to the \LARGE command,
% which is roughly (22)(22).
% \committee: The first parenthesis must contain your supervisor name.
% You can have two supervisors, in which case, the
% second supervisor goes into the square brackets, next to the
% first. If you have one like me, then leave the second entry blank, like below. The
% rest of the parentheses contains the rest of your committee members. You
% can have up to six entries, NOT including your supervisor(s). My
% school requires five or four. I have five (5) members
% below. Note that there is no need to put the "Dr." title in front of any of the names.
