Triumph of Alumni: Brian Hoefel Finishing His MA


Earlier this spring, Brian Hoefel, BA History 2009, visited campus to talk to his old professors and let them know how his graduate career is progressing. Brian is currently working on his Masters Thesis and also working as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Akron.

Brian's thesis explores the role of southern trade shows that took place prior to the Civil War. Brian argues that they were part of an effort to bring industry to the south that ultimately failed to provide enough manufacturing to match the north during the war.
