Wall of Honor

With our stellar location, vibrant student life, and devoted faculty, the College of Charleston is truly one of the nation’s great public universities. Please check back to view our current honoree(s) and see below for previous honorees.

Dr. Theodore Them, Geology


Dr. Them received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar award for 2024 – 2025 to conduct research at Durham University, which is consistently ranked as one of the top 100 universities in the world, in the United Kingdom. The mission of the US-UK Fulbright Commission is to advance knowledge, promote civic engagement and develop compassionate leaders through education exchange between the peoples of the US and the UK. His project, “Assessing the Sources and Impacts of Sewage and Legacy Pollution in UK and US Coastal Communities,” will encompass the use of traditional and novel geochemical indicators to pinpoint the sources of industrial, military, and societal pollution along the Yorkshire Coast, UK and the Charleston, SC region. Dr. Them and his family will spend seven months in Durham, beginning in January 2025.
