    A middle-aged man wearing glasses and a light blue button-down shirt stands in front of a large bronze/gold United States Marine Corps Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem mounted on a dark teal wall. The setting appears to be a museum or memorial exhibit, with a partially visible quote on the wall referencing 'The Marines' and 'President.' The portrait-style photograph uses dramatic lighting to highlight the subject against the military insignia.

    Stephen Wise, the museum director and cultural resource manager on Parris Island, S.C., since 1983, is one of three recipients this year to earn the Governor's Award of the Humanities on Oct. 17, 2013, in Columbia, S.C. The prestigious award is given to individuals who have promoted public understanding of the humanities and have demonstrated excellence in defining South Carolina's impact on the nation and world. Wise is in charge of preserving the archaeological findings and recovery of artifacts dating back more than 450 years when Europeans first settled on the island. Wise is a native of Toledo, Ohio. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training since 1915. (Photo by Lance Cpl. David Bessey)
