MKA Senior, Ethan Kuhl, Has His Thesis Selected For Publication In The Concord Review

MKA Senior, Ethan Kuhl, will have the honor of seeing his junior independent history thesis, The 1964 Surgeon General's Report: Catalyst for Social Change and Policy Against Big Tobacco published in the Winter 2017 issue of The Concord Review. Founded in l987, this prestigious publication recognizes exemplary history essays by high school students, and is distributed to 44 states in the U.S. and in 38 countries around the world. This is the ninth MKA paper to be published in the Concord Review since 2007, and the third in the past three years.

Upper School History Department Chair David Korfhage says, "I'm very proud of Ethan's achievement. The history department is proud to have another student paper published in the Concord Review, which we view as a testament to the strength of our history research program."

The Junior History Research Project is an alternative to the traditional American History AP course and requires every member of the junior class to spend six months conducting independent, in-depth research, using both primary and secondary sources, into an aspect of American history, prior to writing a thesis which can range anywhere from 3200 - 6500 words.

Congratulations to Ethan on this tremendous accomplishment!
