Introducing the 2026 Disability and Disasters Award Winners The Natural Hazards Center is pleased to introduce Erin Taylor and Elan Tulberg as the recipients of the 2026 Disability and Disasters Award. #Disability hazards.colorado.edu/news/center-...

Elan Tulberg : A young woman in graduation attire standing outdoors in front of a large tree.
She has light to medium skin, dark wavy hair that is chin-length, and is wearing a navy blue graduation cap with a black band.
Her head is turned over her shoulder toward the camera with a small, closed-mouth smile.
She is wearing gold hoop earrings and a sleeveless white top or dress with a white graduation stole draped over her shoulders and a dark strap visible on one shoulder, possibly from a bag or gown.
In the blurred background, there are green trees and a few people standing along a paved path, suggesting a graduation ceremony in a park-like setting.

A middle-aged person with fair skin and short brown hair smiling in an outdoor park setting. The person is centered in the image, filling most of the frame from the shoulders up. They are wearing rectangular glasses with dark frames; blue reflections are visible on the lenses. There is a small hoop nose ring in the left nostril and small hoop earrings in both ears. The person’s teeth are visible in a wide, friendly smile. They are wearing a dark top with a bold floral pattern in coral, white, and navy colors, and a black cord necklace with a small silver pendant.

Behind them, a straight paved path runs from the bottom center of the image into the distance, dividing a grassy area. Tall trees with thick green foliage line both sides of the path, creating a leafy canopy overhead. The grass on either side of the path is lush and green, with a few patches of bare ground. Farther back, there are park elements such as lampposts and what appears to be a trash can or small post, all softened by distance. The lighting suggests a bright but overcast or softly shaded day, with even illumination and no harsh shadows.
