• Gay B. Stewart (Chair)
• Associate Professor of Physics, Department of Physics, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

Gay Stewart received her Ph.D. in experimental physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1994. As a concerned parent, she shifted her research to science education. In 1995, she began a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded course and curriculum development project. Success promoted further change in the department, with the average number of graduates increasing eight-fold. She has published 16 papers, given eight invited talks at American Physical Society (APS) and 15 invited talks at other national meetings. She serves on the editorial board of a science education research journal and on the Project Kaleidoscope Faculty for the 21st Century. She served on the APS Committee on Education, and on the AP^® Physics Curriculum Development Committee from 1998-2003, serving as chair for the last three years. She is past-chair of the APS Forum on Education Executive Committee. She is also co-chair of the NSF-funded initiative to redesign AP Physics. Currently, she directs one of four physics programs for the NSF/American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), "Shaping the Preparation of Future Science Faculty," and a primary program institution of the APS/AAPT/American Institute of Physics (AIP) "Physics Teachers Education Coalition." She has received several teaching and advising awards, the Fulbright College Master Teacher and Outstanding Advisor awards, the Honors College Mentoring Gold Medal, and the CASE Arkansas Professor of the Year award, and is the first recipient of the University of Arkansas Outstanding Advising Award. She claims that the highest award she ever received was when her daughter (who was 17 years old) asked that Stewart become her advisor.
