Stacy and her project were highlighted during the UW-Milwaukee Graduation Commencement address:
"One of the more intriguing research related stories I learned about this     semester involved an armadillo, an armadillo on a pillow, to be exact. It seams Stacy Hillmer's Masters degree in English required research about print on demand publishing, which is a booming high tech form of self-publishing.  Her adviser, assistant professor Dave Clark, encouraged her to seek out the practical implications of her research.  That led Stacy to create a self-published children’s book entitled, 'An Armadillo on My Pillow.'  As you might guess, you can learn more about this project online at ArmadilloPillow.com"
