The William S. Gay Junior Faculty Fellowship in Accounting and Information Systems was established by alumni and friends of William S. Gay, who was a member of the faculty in Virginia Tech’s Department of Accounting from 1929 until his retirement in 1969. Gay was the first department head of the Department of Accounting.
William S. Gay Junior Faculty Fellows retain the fellowship for a three-year period.

He was also a member of an earlier research task force that provided research assistance to the PCAOB related to revisions of quality control standards.
He received his bachelor’s degree and master’s degree from Appalachian State University and a Ph.D. from Virginia Tech.
