Dr. Jay Strack

Leadership in government, business, and education entities proclaim Dr. Jay Strack to be a dynamic communicator.  He is the author of several highly acclaimed books, including The Power of One.  Jay believes, “Trust is built through genuine, intentional relationships and open dialogue across nations, cultures, and beliefs. Only then are hearts and situations changed. With every breath, my soul prays for peace in our country and across the globe.”

As Founder and creator of Student Leadership University and the Strack Center Global at his alma mater, Charleston Southern University, Jay has successfully merged the classroom with behind the scenes “edu-tainment” experiences across America, in  England, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, West Bank, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Sudan, Spain, China and Africa, thus providing a customized environment for learning.

Dr. Strack is a Senior Fellow at Liberty University, designing global programs to connect American students with Middle East students through dialogue, study, and relational interactions both online and in person.

More than 30 years as a volunteer speaker in high schools and universities has given him a unique understanding and perspective to inspire students. Strack speaks to students in the same way he presents to major corporations and professional sports teams, believing that if given the right tools, students can soar into future-tense thinking and influence as leaders. Having prevailed over drug addiction and an abusive childhood, Jay believes, “If I can overcome the past and believe in the future, anyone can.  Dreams can determine your destiny.”
