Not so long ago (in our last issue, in fact), we were lauding the incredible growth DR has seen in its last 100 issues. This week we must say goodbye to someone who played a large role in making that happen.
It’s with sadness that we bid farewell to our Assistant Director for Programs and Outreach Ezekiel Peters. While many might know Zeke best for his forward-thinking partnerships and tireless promotion of the Center's offerings, he is probably less known for the deft and careful editing that has shaped both DR and the Natural Hazards Observer over the last five years.
It won’t be easy to soldier on after February 1 when Zeke leaves the Center to pursue his interests in emergency medical services and resilience, but we’re glad to see his formidable energy and problem-solving skills will still be working towards solutions for the hazards community. Good luck, Zeke. You’ll be missed.
