Alumni News: Stephanie Gray

We are pleased to congratulate one of our alumni, Stephanie Gray (Creative Writing MFA, 2010), on her nomination for a 2016 Lambda Literary Award in the category of Lesbian Poetry.

From the Lambda website: “The Lambda Literary Awards were founded in 1989 to elevate the profile of LGBT literature [...] In so doing, we also elevate the lives of those who find themselves authentically portrayed in our stories. It is with great pride that we come together each year to celebrate the excellent works of inspiring authors who have walked in our shoes.”
