Maryellen Stratmann, M.D., a physician and educator, was elected to the Board of Trustees in April 2008.
Dr. Stratmann was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, where she grew up in a blue-collar family. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration from Notre Dame College, and her Doctor of Medicine degree from Case Western Reserve University.
While a medical student, she worked in the Gene Regulation Laboratory at the National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland.

She has published a number of medical articles in professional journals and has also authored a book. Over the past 20-plus years, in addition to practicing medicine, she has taught students in seated and on-line classes at the college, medical school, and post-graduate levels.
She also earned a certificate in Nonprofit Leadership and Management from Missouri State University (2007).
Because Dr. Stratmann relates first-hand to the challenges that many of our students face, she enjoys sharing her enthusiasm and experience with them. Her son Henry has been an OTC student.
