This issue of Engineering Studies is my last as editor-in-chief (EIC), and so this editorial is my opportunity to thank a number of people and to reflect on five wonderful years working with our authors, editors, reviewers, and readers. The journal's new editor-in-chief, Jessica Smith, will introduce herself when she takes over with volume 15. I'm incredibly hopeful for Jessica's tenure as editor. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and contacts but also, and more importantly, a sensitivity to who does and could contribute to (and benefit from) engineering studies and what those people might want this journal to be. Our readers and staff (including myself in both categories) are very fortunate that Jessica is taking on this role.
