Stange has been active in Women in Numbers, the prototype for the Association for Women in Mathematics' Research Collaboration Networks for Women. She was co-organizer and proceedings co-editor of Directions in Number Theory: Proceedings of the 2014 WIN3 Workshop and a project leader for Women in Numbers 4. Stange served on the American Mathematical Society Committee on Women in Mathematics (CoWIM) from 2019–2020.

Recognition

The Mathematical Association of America presented Stange and Lionel Levine the 2013 Paul R. Halmos - Lester R. Ford Award for outstanding paper in The American Mathematical Monthly for their paper How to make the most of a shared meal: plan the last bite first.

Stange was elected a Fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the Class of 2021 "for leadership in the Women in Numbers Network by creating its website (the first of its kind), mentoring early-career researchers, organizing conferences, editing its proceedings volumes, and chairing its steering committee; and for service on AWM committees, including support of other research networks". She was named a 2021 Simons Fellow in Mathematics.
