Her nominator, Anne Phillips, professor and associate department head of English, said:
“Professor Gray is an essential, admired, and consequential member of the English Department.

A senior in English Education, said:
“I have never known a time in which Stacia did not open her office to meet with students. I have spent numerous hours with her navigating research and assignments.
