Dr. Gray joined the American Chemical Society (ACS) Board of Directors in January 2018, is a founding member of the ACS Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Board, and served on the ACS Women Chemists Committee in various roles over 10+ years. Teri’s passion for educational opportunities for all children affords her the opportunity to serve on several boards, including the Executive Committee for the Delaware Foundation for Science & Math Education, the Delaware Campaign for Action Now (DECAN), the Community Education Building (CEB), and Zip Code Wilmington. Teri served as President of the Delaware State Board of Education for 8 years, appointed by Governor Jack Markell in 2009, and co-chair of the Delaware STEM Council since 2012.
Her community outreach includes working with the Bear-Glasgow YMCA of DE Community Gifts Campaign, serving as Executive on Loan to United Way of Delaware, and various leadership roles within the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware.
In 2014, Dr. Gray received Delaware’s 25th Annual Strong, Smart, and Bold Award from Girl’s Inc. for her civic leadership and as a role model for girls; and soon thereafter, she was honored with the distinguished Willoughby Award from Junior Achievement of Delaware to encourage volunteerism and advocacy in STEM.
She holds a B.S. in Chemistry from Jackson State University in Mississippi; earned a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Maryland College Park, and worked as National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Institute of Standards & Technology prior to joining DuPont in 1997. She loves reading, blues, red wine, and “circle time” with family. Teri and her husband, Bernard, live in Newark, DE and have one son and a 9-month old grandson.
