The Power of Positivity and Community

Les Thomas Sr.

Les is a retired Air Force veteran with 20 years of distinguished service and has also made his mark as a motivational speaker, music artist, and community leader. Known for his inspiring TEDx talk, features in major hip-hop magazines, and his role as the "hype man" at OSU football and basketball games, he brings a wealth of experience and passion to the table. Like our administrative professionals, Les wears many hats. 

At the luncheon, Les will explore themes of resilience, empathy and the power of seeing everyone through a positive lens. He will discuss the importance of reaching out, lending a hand and how community support can make a significant impact. As administrative professionals at OSU, you are the glue that holds everything together. What if you could, through your crucial role, help to level up Oklahoma State University? What if you created the community of support? Join us to explore the "what ifs" and leadership potential within your role.
