    COMMENCEMENT THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL GRADUATION LIST While every effort is made to ensure accuracy in this commencement program, printing deadlines may result in omission of some names and use of names of persons not completing graduation requirements as intended. This printed program, therefore, should not be used to determine a student’s academic or degree status. The university’s official registry for conferral of degrees is the student’s permanent academic record as reflected on the student’s transcript, maintained by the Office of the University Registrar. Commencement SPRING 2020 Greetings from the President n behalf of the University of Florida, our faculty and our entire university community, I would like to extend my deepest congratulations to you, the Graduates of 2020.

  • Monastic Landscapes of Medieval Transylvania (Between the Eleventh and Sixteenth Centuries)
    DOI: 10.14754/CEU.2020.02 Doctoral Dissertation ON THE BORDER: MONASTIC LANDSCAPES OF MEDIEVAL TRANSYLVANIA (BETWEEN THE ELEVENTH AND SIXTEENTH CENTURIES) By: Ünige Bencze Supervisor(s): József Laszlovszky Katalin Szende Submitted to the Medieval Studies Department, and the Doctoral School of History Central European University, Budapest of in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Medieval Studies, and CEU eTD Collection for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Budapest, Hungary 2020 DOI: 10.14754/CEU.2020.02 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My interest for the subject of monastic landscapes arose when studying for my master’s degree at the department of Medieval Studies at CEU. Back then I was interested in material culture, focusing on late medieval tableware and import pottery in Transylvania. Arriving to CEU and having the opportunity to work with József Laszlovszky opened up new research possibilities and my interest in the field of landscape archaeology. First of all, I am thankful for the constant advice and support of my supervisors, Professors József Laszlovszky and Katalin Szende whose patience and constructive comments helped enormously in my research. I would like to acknowledge the support of my friends and colleagues at the CEU Medieval Studies Department with whom I could always discuss issues of monasticism or landscape archaeology László Ferenczi, Zsuzsa Pető, Kyra Lyublyanovics, and Karen Stark. I thank the director of the Mureş County Museum, Zoltán Soós for his understanding and support while writing the dissertation as well as my colleagues Zalán Györfi, Keve László, and Szilamér Pánczél for providing help when I needed it.

  • Spring 2017 Commencement Program
    THE U NIVERSITY OF A KRON M AY 12, 13 AND 14, 2017 E DWIN J. THOMAS P ERFORMING A RTS H ALL The University of Akron: A Proud Tradition he Ohio Universalist Convention established a small, liberal arts college in Akron in 1870 and named it for one of the city’s promi- nent industrialists, John R. Buchtel. It was Buchtel who led a group Tof 100 individuals and 13 businesses in a fundraising campaign to build the college. On July 4, 1871, thousands of area citizens turned out to witness the results of that initiative, joining in a great celebration as the cornerstone was laid for a single but impressive structure that constituted Buchtel College. Both a visionary and a pragmatist, Buchtel believed that the vigor of any city is closely tied to the proximity of a high quality institution of higher educa- tion. Decades of progress, both for the city and for the college he helped to launch, have proven him right. Today, The University of Akron is the region’s most influential public research university. With more than 23,000 students and 300–plus associate, baccalaureate, and master’s degree programs and options, as well as 20 doctoral degree programs and four law degrees, UA offers career- focused, real-world learning opportunities. From polymers and psychology, to engineering and communications, to business and education, UA brings together diverse backgrounds in ways that provide students with the skills that employers value. Since 1914, the University has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and it is currently classified at the highest level as a comprehensive, doctoral-degree-granting institution.

  • Britain, the Albanian Question and the Demise of the Ottoman Empire 1876-1914
    Britain, the Albanian Question and the Demise of the Ottoman Empire 1876-1914 Daut Dauti Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures - School of History January 2018 1 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The right of Daut Dauti to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. 2 Acknowledgments I am indebted to many friends and family members who encouraged me to undertake this research. Grateful thanks are due to my supervisors, Professor Holger Afflerbach and Dr. Nir Arielli, who were a constant source of advice. I wish also to thank my wife, Bukurije Dauti, for accompanying me to different archives and helping to type and classify documents. Without their help, this dissertation would not have been possible. 3 Abstract This thesis is based on a wide range of primary and secondary sources and explores British policy towards the development of the Albanian national movement and the parallel demise of the Ottoman Empire. It pursues three major objectives. Firstly, it argues that during the period under discussion (1876-1914) Britain had only a limited involvement in the Albanian Question because of a lack of any major interest in Albania.
