In September 2018, Zachary Hoefler, who would have been a sophomore this year, died from complications due to a brain tumor. Today, his memory and those of all Ole Miss students, employees and faculty who died in the past year were honored at a memorial service in Paris-Yates Chapel. Zach Colby, Hoefler’s fraternity brother, represented […]
