From Utah State University to Utah State Prison: The Rise and Fall of Mark Hofmann, Forger and Bomber

Lecture/Readings

The Friends of the Merrill-Cazier Library present "From Utah State University to Utah State Prison: The Rise and Fall of Mark Hofmann, Forger and Bomber with Richard E. Turley Jr." In 1980, Mark Hofmann was an obscure student at USU. One morning that year, he walked into the University Library with a discovery that helped catapult him to fame as a document dealer. Over the next five years, his document discoveries expanded from those related to Latter-day Saint and Utah history to stunning pieces of Americana. Then in October 1985, three bombs went off in the Salt Lake Valley, the first fatally injuring a businessman who was a Hofmann client, the second killing the wife of the businessman's associate, and the third nearly killing Hofmann himself. The ensuing investigation proved that Hofmann was the serial bomber and that virtually all of his key discoveries were forgeries. This lecture, presented by Richard E. Turley Jr., will discuss the story that inspired Netflix's Murder Among the Mormons documentary.

LAEP Speaker Series: Sean Michael

Lecture/Readings

Private practice in landscape architecture is highly competitive, with firms of many sizes and disciplines vying for the same contracts. For firms to survive in crowded, talent-rich markets, they must provide valuable design and planning services while maintaining the profitability of their office(s). Without exception, both of these demands must be met if a sustainable practice is sought. This talk explains the significance of business practices in the minds of practitioners, sharing results from a 2021 study of one of the oldest and most successful firms in North America.
