In Memoriam
Dr. Kenneth R. Gray
Kenneth R. Gray, 55, Academy of Management Mentoring Committee Chair (2003-2006) and Professor of International Management at the School of Business & Industry, Florida A&M University, died suddenly of a heart attack Saturday, March 24, 2007, while on a rock climbing trip in Tennessee. He died on top of a steep cliff, doing what he loved most, challenging his limits.
Ken was an Eminent Scholar Chair and served as a Senior Fulbright Scholar from 1999-2001 at Al Akhawayn University in Morocco. He also taught at the U.S. International University in Nairobi, Kenya. Over the years, he has helped many students travel and study abroad in such places as Kenya, the Dominican Republic, and China. He was posthumously awarded the prestigious Heiskell Award for innovative international education by the Institute of International Education at the United Nations on March 30, 2007. Kenneth was a member of the Southwest Academy of Management (as well as other Federation of Business Discipline member organizations) and served as the track chair for the International track in 2005. As a result of his work and commitment, Ken made a lasting impression on his colleagues and the lives of hundreds of students who have matriculated through Florida A&M University. Ken is survived by his wife of 25 years, Doris H. Gray of the Department of Modern Languages at Florida State University, and two daughters Tunuka (17) and Khadijah (15).
Ken’s family asks that memorial contributions be made to the SBI Kenneth Gray Scholarship Fund, Florida A&M University, School of Business & Industry, 1 SBI Plaza, Tallahassee, FL, 32307, Attention: Ms. Alice Williams.
