History Students at Missouri Valley History Conference

On Thursday and Friday, 5-6 March, 2009, Madison Bruber, Danielle Scotti, and Shaun Sticka made presentations of their research at the Missouri Valley History Conference in Omaha, NE. They conducted themselves professionally, gave fine presentations, and handled comments and questions in a manner that reflected well upon themselves and the History Department at UST.

Bruber worked under Dr. Schrunk on her Young Scholar project,"War and Society: An Adriatic Island in Late Antiquity;" Scotti worked under Dr. Fitzharris on her Young Scholar project, "The Female Army Nurse: Her Transformation Since World War II;" and Sticka worked under Dr. Howe on his 2008 Ireland Prize-winning Seminar paper, "Sir Francis Walsingham: The English Machiavel." Dr. Joe Fitzharris felt fortunate to have the privilege of accompanying the students to the conference.
