Wright State honors ‘Calamityville’ developer
Wright State University has awarded the 2009 Trustees’ Award for Faculty Excellence to Dr. Glenn C. Hamilton, developer of the National Center for Medical Readiness Tactical Laboratory, also known as Calamityville.
Hamilton served as chair of the emergency medicine department within the Boonshoft School of Medicine from 1982 to 2009, when he stepped down to oversee the development of Calamityville, according to Wright State officials.
Hamilton, an active emergency physician, has directly contributed to the training of more than 2,000 medical students and 300 residents in the Dayton region.
Hamilton developed the National Center for Medical Readiness (NCMR) with Dr. Mark Gebhart, associate professor of emergency medicine. The NCMR Tactical Laboratory is one of several projects established by the center.
Calamityville is an education and research facility that will provide unique training opportunities for medical, public health, public safety, and civilian and military disaster response decision makers worldwide.
Over the past five years, NCMR has been awarded more than $25 million in state and federal grants and contracts to develop the themes of disaster preparedness and medical readiness, according to Wright State officials.
Hamilton’s interest in disaster management started in 1979 when he served as a faculty member in charge of the Cincinnati General Emergency Department during the Who concert tragedy that December, when 11 fans were crushed to death in a stampede at Riverfront Coliseum.
Now in its 26th year, the Trustees’ Award is the highest award given by Wright State. It is given to full-time, fully affiliated faculty who demonstrate a sustained and balanced contribution to the teaching, research and professional service mission of the university.

Great headline. If your cookie has a bite-sized action and your reader completes the action, I think two things happen. Their self-confidence goes up (which feels good) and their trust in you increases.

When will reporters get it through their thick skulls that The Who concert tragedy (12/3/79)was NOT a stampede—but the opposite—it was a crowd craze that created a deadly crowd crush? If you can’t describe the cause of a tragedy correctly, you can’t learn from it.
