The College of Charleston is grieving the loss of a beloved instructor, Heather Hall, who died Wednesday in an accident in Portugal. Hall was a Department of Teacher Education faculty member specializing in literacy and special education.
“This is a tragic loss for all of us. Heather’s untimely death occurred while she was in Lisbon to speak at a conference. As an alumna of the College (‘97) and a dynamic instructor with a specialization is special education, she shared her love of travel with her students. Her energy, kindness and student-centeredness will be deeply missed,” said School of Education Dean Fran Welch.
As a Fulbright Scholar in Ghana, Hall learned how to understand and celebrate other cultures. She shared her love of travel with her students on study abroad trips to Italy. She was planning future learning experiences in Iceland and Belize.
