Gray's workshops are co-sponsored by TAA. She held her workshop last year on more than 16 campuses, including Texas A&M, the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Brigham Young University and Harvard University. Here's what some of those participants said about her workshop:

————————

"Your workshop on scholarly writing hit a home run with my faculty....An award-winning psychology professor told me that, after the workshop, she was astounded at her writing productivity. She called your workshop 'a life-changing experience'.....In one day, you made a genuine difference at this university. We will be more productive and better writers for the rest of our careers."

— Linda Nilson, Director, Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation, Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina

————————

"Tara's scholarship workshop touched a real nerve for our busy faculty with a 4-4 teaching load. One testimony to the efficacy of her program is that we are still meeting to discuss drafts of our work -- two years after her workshop!"

— Thomas P. Murphy, Associate Professor of English, Former Director, Center for Effective Teaching, Mansfield University, Mansfield Pennsylvania

————————

"I feel you are exactly the RIGHT person to be talking to colleagues (apprehensive ones, by self-selection) about writing because you use accessible language that everyone can identify with. . . I applaud you! I am equally entranced by your Power Point presentation style, your ability to make your message lively, your self-revealing anecdotes, the great quotes. . . . It is all nicely done, a real polished act."

— Suzanne Buker, Communication Studies, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico

————————

"Very well presented. Good pace. Fast moving. Good sense of humor. High energy and enthusiasm. You will inspire."

— Tom Cyrs, Professor Emeritus, Education, Management and Development, Former Director, Center for Educational Development, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico

————————

"Tara is an excellent presenter--substantive and yet engaging and even entertaining...I encourage you to do whatever you can to bring her to your campus."

— A. Jane Birch, Associate Director, Faculty Center, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah

————————

"Rarely do faculty from many disciplines have the opportunity to work together on their writing. The session participants received valuable insights into their own writing processes and into ways to maximize their efforts. They formed cross disciplinary partnerships and followed up with each other within the week following the session. A workshop that keeps on working!"

— Linda Shadiow, Director, Faculty Development Program, Northern Arizona University
