Higher/Postsecondary Education master’s degree student Thomas Andrew Kehoe III G’27 is among four new student representatives—representing undergraduate, graduate, and law students—to join the Syracuse University Board of Trustees for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Kehoe is a graduate assistant for academic and career advising within the Office of Student Success in the College of Arts and Sciences and Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. In this role, he advises undergraduate students on career readiness and connects them with resources to support their professional development.
Originally from Vermont, Kehoe earned dual bachelor’s degrees in business management and marketing, with a minor in statistics, from Vermont State University Castleton. He received the Abel E. Leavenworth Leadership Award and the Leonard C. Goldman Distinguished Senior Award and served as President of the Student Government Association, Senior Class Treasurer, a student orientation coordinator, and a member of the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice Advisory Committee.
At Syracuse University, Kehoe has deepened his commitment to student advocacy, contributing to the Academic Integrity Office, serving as a recruitment officer for the higher postsecondary education program, and working as a graduate research assistant on a qualitative study examining how practitioners foster student success.
Driven by a passion for student-centered leadership, Kehoe says he aspires to a career in higher education administration.
As the graduate student representative for the 2026-2027 academic year, Kehoe participates, ex officio, on the Academic Affairs and the Student Experience committees.
