    Dear MC Community,

    Our thoughts are with the Benedictine community and ODC during this difficult time, and we extend our heartfelt support to them. It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and long-time member, Peter Sorensen. Over the years, Peter generously dedicated his time and talents to both the MC and ODC divisions. Through more than 25 years of leadership in the doctoral program at Benedictine University, he welcomed over 500 new members to our divisions.

    Peter was a prolific scholar, having authored over 300 articles and books, nearly all in collaboration with co-authors-a true reflection of his dedication to teamwork and the power of Appreciative Inquiry.

    His unwavering commitment to international collaboration was pivotal to the success of MC-sponsored conferences worldwide, where he also inspired and guided many students to actively participate and learn from these global experiences.

    Peter's warm personality, kindness, and unwavering generosity will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

    Rest in peace, Peter.
