“It is with great enthusiasm that I endorse Dr. Greg Stratman and his new venture Achieve Excellence Institute. I had the opportunity to witness first hand his leadership, team-building and collaboration expertise during the six years that he served on the Rolla Public School District Board of Education. Greg is a valued and respected champion of education and has the background and vision to really make a difference for educators and students alike.”

Dr. Aaron Zalis, Superintendent, Rolla (MO) Public School District

“Greg managed with energy and integrity, and he was [a] visionary leader. He is familiar with all aspects of the non-traditional college student environment, from administration through the particular theoretical and practical approaches to teaching the adult and continuing learner. During his tenure here, he developed innovative solutions to challenges inherent in this mode of education. He is an extremely effective leader of faculty: one of the endeavors he considered of great value was to instill a sense of collegiality and professional education into the largely part-time adjunct faculty of this campus. Welding them into a cohesive unit of teachers who applied real rigor to their classes while still understanding the diverse needs of adult learners was an achievement of which he can remain very proud.”

Steven Allen, Assistant Director, Columbia College-Rolla

“I have known Dr. Greg Stratman since 2007, and during that time he showed a high level of integrity, commitment to excellence, and a forward view of stability and growth in the services provided. I count it a privilege to have worked with him and believe he will bring tools for growth and quality of education to any educational institution that seeks his services.”

Dr. Elbert Bolsen, Retired Clinical Psychologist; Retired Lead Faculty Member, Columbia College-Rolla

“Dr. Greg Stratman was a pleasure to work with. He was a wonderful advisor and mentor, and his knowledge and expertise made him an ideal director as our team of faculty worked toward a common goal.”

Erin Brescia, Instructor, American Public University System

“Greg builds teams. He engaged his staff, his faculty, and his students all as colleagues and partners. We all responded with a cohesion that enhanced the experience of working, teaching, and learning here. He is able to articulate his vision in a way that [brings] people together. Finally, Greg is an excellent teacher, in the classroom and by example. His experience ranges from primary education through graduate students, across traditional and non-traditional students, and from students who have never left Phelps County to students who have travelled halfway around the globe to take our classes. He is furthermore very much a ‘Do what I do, not just what I say’ role model, teaching by example and activity rather than just by rote and by order.”
