You will be greatly missed, but the legacy of your work will live on. You have led the GLOBE Program with thoughtfulness and vision, serving as a tireless and dedicated champion for the effort. Your skill and care were critical to achieving the best possible outcomes during the complex overhauls of the program's organizational infrastructure. You delicately balanced input from all stakeholders, ensuring that everyone’s voice and needs mattered in every decision.

I feel immense gratitude and respect for your collaborative and selfless work in promoting the best interests of GLOBE. I am thankful for the chance to have worked with you and hope for the chance to work with you again in the future. In the meantime, please enjoy some well-earned rest. Whatever you focus on next will certainly benefit from your expertise, just as GLOBE has. We will miss you, but are thankful for all you've done.

Wishing you all the best! John

Thank you for everything you have done! I am certain you have done far more for GLOBE than any of us can know. I admire your selfless dedication and persistence. I hope the future brings nothing but the best for you! I'd love to catch up back in New Mexico maybe at Explora or the zoo with the kids. Best of luck to you!

Dra. Amy, más que un adiós, esto es un "hasta pronto". Le deseo el mayor de los éxitos en su nueva etapa; que cada día esté lleno de bendiciones y logros. Gracias por su entrega durante todo este tiempo.

Dr. John, bienvenido a la dirección del Programa GLOBE. Reciba mis mejores deseos en este nuevo reto liderando esta iniciativa de la NASA que tanto nos apasiona.

Desde Colombia, espero que sigamos trabajando juntos con el mismo entusiasmo de siempre. Son muchos años vinculados a GLOBE y confío en que este proyecto continuará fortaleciéndose con el compromiso de todos, desde los directivos hasta los estudiantes.

¡Éxitos totales para ambos!

Thank you for your support of the evaluation community. Enjoy the next chapter. I hope our paths cross again.

Thank you for all the support for GLOBE in the last years. The last months were very challenging, especially for you. I'm persuaded that with your negociations GLOBE will have a powerfull restart.

All the best, Eric

Your absence will surely be missed by the entire Globe community, but what you have done for the benefit of the environment will remain forever indelible in the minds of our students and ourselves. Thank you to the incredible woman that you are.♡♡

Warmly,

Thank you for inviting me to be part of the GLOBE program. Under your direction, thousands of inquisitive kids all over the world participated in real science. Intellectual curiosity is hard to find these days, but the GLOBE program is an oasis.  Because of your support, visually impaired students will have opportunities that were previously not possible for them.  YOU opened that door and who knows where it will lead.  I have enjoyed working with you.  Your absence is a great loss for GLOBE and NASA.  I wish you continued success in your endeavors.

Thank you for being a source of support for the community during uncertain times — your presence has meant more than words can express. Your vision and commitment have helped move GLOBE forward in meaningful ways, and it’s inspiring to see the impact you’ve made.

Grateful for you and all that you do 💙

Take care,

On behalf of the GLOBE alumni from Africa region, and with my deepest respect, I wish you all the best in your new endeavor.

My students and I were so fortunate to meet you at the GLOBE annual meeting on 2024, it was our first time to be there. Your excellent professionalism and positive attitude greatly encouraged us during the conference and inspired us to focus on all our activities. We also gained a lot from exchanging ideas with American students.

Even after we returned to Taiwan, you continued to provide us with a lot of assistance and encouragement regarding the GLOBE program! This gave us peace of mind! Thank you!

Whatever your next plans may be, we wish you all the best.

It’s hard to fully put into words just how much your presence and work have meant to GLOBE and to all of us who had the privilege of working alongside you. Day in and day out, you showed up with dedication, care, and an unwavering commitment to keeping everything moving forward—often behind the scenes, without fanfare, but always with purpose.

Because of you, GLOBE didn’t just run, it thrived. The impact of what you helped sustain reaches far beyond the day-to-day tasks; it lives in the work accomplished, the people supported, and the difference made. That kind of impact doesn’t happen by accident, it happens because of someone like you, who genuinely cares and gives so much of themselves to the mission.

Your consistency, your reliability, and your quiet strength created a foundation that so many depended on. You carried so much, and you did it with grace, resilience, and heart. It’s the kind of contribution that can’t be easily replaced, and it certainly won’t be forgotten.

Beyond everything you did, it’s who you are that we will miss just as much, your presence, your spirit, and the way you made the work feel meaningful and connected. You made a difference not only in what you accomplished, but in how you made others feel along the way.

Thank you for everything you gave to GLOBE, for your time, your energy, your care, and your belief in the work. You leave behind a legacy that will continue to shape and inspire long after this moment.

You will be deeply, truly missed.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Shaikha

You have lead us, nourished us and my work in the world has become so collaborative because of your grace, leadership under fire and wonderful combination of hard work with a purpose and raising our expectations always marking a path we could find you and or we could pick up our own pluck and follow, lead or plan to be able to live up to what you have given us, given GLOBE, and our futures in or out of GLOBE to help educators, students and families to explore Nature.

Hope to find you again should I ever have the opportunity to share in the light of what you gave us- empowerment, respect, a voice and always no matter how busy you work weaving us a way to go…an ear.

Please stay in touch ditto, ditto. We are so lucky to be in your wake.
