Leon Thomas, III

Leon Thomas, III, is the director of Student Engagement and has served with Anne Arundel Community College in multiple capacities across ten years. Thomas believes that students often feel removed from higher education professionals. Part of his intentional approach is to remind students that they are heard, they are seen and their perspective matters. This philosophy has allowed him to cultivate relationships with an array of diverse students, moving what could have been considered a single transaction with a student to contact that is both thoughtful and valuable.

As a budding professional, Thomas began his service at AACC with the Student Achievement and Success Program (SASP), as a contracted Student Success and Retention Advisor, Student Retention Advisor, and later Program Manager. In 2011, under the leadership of former dean of students, Dr. Ivan Harrell, the two implemented the Black Male Initiative in which Thomas would also become a coordinator. Thomas holds a bachelor of arts degree in Elementary Education and Sociology from West Virginia Wesleyan College and a master of arts degree in Higher Educational Leadership from West Virginia University. He is currently working on and looking forward to completing his Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership and Management from Drexel University in 2020.
