Based on a new document class for writing curriculum vitae. Please, send your comments and suggestions to mlerma@math.northwestern.edu.

nuvita-template.tex: Template for NU Vita.
nuvita.cls: LaTeX document class for writing curriculum vitae. You do not need to download this file if you are using the NU Math computer system, since it is already installed in our central TeX/LaTeX tree.

The nuvita.cls LaTeX document class is not based on any of the standard (article, book, report) LaTeX document classes. Instead, it is an entirely new (and rather simple) document class on its own. It uses five basic environments to define the sections of the curriculum vitae:

Plain section: \begin{psection}{Section Name}...\end{psection}
Tabular section: \begin{tsection}{Section Name}...\end{tsection}
Itemize section: \begin{isection}{Section Name}...\end{isection}
Enumerate section: \begin{esection}{Section Name}...\end{esection}
Description section: \begin{dsection}{Section Name}...\end{dsection}

plus a number of predefined environments such as

Education: \begin{education}...\end{education}
Employment: \begin{employment}...\end{employment}
Publications: \begin{publications}...\end{publications}

etc. Each environment prints a large boldfaced title (the section name) and formats the text as a paragraph, tabular or list. The predefined environments have already a section name defined (for instance, the section name of the education environment is "Education:"). The users may use the basic environments to define their own titles for their sections if they need one that is not among the predefined ones.

The personal information is entered in the preamble of the document and printed with a \makepreamble command.

A typical curriculum vitae looks like this:
