What should I include in my Vita?

Answer

You can refer to our example of a Vita from the Manual.

The Vita page is only required for PhD Dissertations.

Your Vita should be a brief biographical biographical sketch of the candidate; it is not intended to be a comprehensive resume.

It should include a listing of the author's degrees and educational achievements with dates and the school where the degree was earned as well as the degree currently being attained. 

It may include  academic or professional employment, publications, presentations, patents, or other scholarly work, awards, or distinctions.

Note: It should not include personal information such as date or place of birth, addresses (physical or email), phone numbers, etc
