A perennial question each graduation cycle is how to create signature blanks for thesis and dissertation signature pages.
There are many approaches available. How would you go about it? (Or how did you go about it?)

You could use a
tabular
and carefully placed\cline
borders to make the lines:screenshot
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{array} \begin{document} \clearpage \begin{center} \vspace*{1cm} This blah blah is accepted by \\ blah blah \\ requirements for blah blah \\ \vspace{2cm} \begin{tabular}{ c w{c}{3cm} w{c}{2.3cm} w{c}{5cm} } Date & & & \\ \cline{2-2} \cline{4-4} & & & blah blah, Advisor \\[2cm] Date & & & \\ \cline{2-2} \cline{4-4} & & & blah blah, Reader \\[2cm] Date & & & \\ \cline{2-2} \cline{4-4} & & & blah blah, Supervisor \\[2cm] \multicolumn{4}{ c }{ Approved by blah blah:} \\[2cm] Date & & & \\ \cline{2-2} \cline{4-4} & & & blah blah, Approver \\[2cm] \end{tabular} \end{center} \end{document}
I’m a big fan of
tabular
, and probably use it in lots of places where something better would work. This is how I’d do it.
