Albert College welcomed two new Board of Governors members in fall 2022
Marcus Thomson ’97 attended Albert College for three years, as did his sister, Shanna (Thomson) Zebarth ’98. After Albert College, he completed bachelor and master of science degrees at Queen’s University in his hometown of Kingston. He also attended the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory and holds a PhD from the University of California. His career and that of his wife, Liyam, have taken them all over the world, where they have lived at points in Egypt, Oman and Austria. Marcus completed his postdoctoral research on climate change and sustainability at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in Santa Barbara, California, and was a research scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria. Marcus is a data scientist at Sequoia Climate Foundation where he helps experts in climate policy use computer models to maximize the leverage of philanthropic giving to lower greenhouse gas emissions. He and Liyam live in southern California, not too far from the beach. Marcus is a proud Albert College alumnus and we are thrilled he is now a Board member.
Leslie Pallant has been an engaged Albert College parent since 2009. With a broad professional skill set in human resources, insurance and banking, Leslie is also active in the Belleville community, serving on the Children’s Foundation board. She holds a bachelor of science from University of Toronto as well as a human resources certificate from Toronto Metropolitan University. While her life revolves around her three daughters and she works closely with her husband, she has also carved out a niche as a semi-professional baker. Leslie has worked closely with our Development Office volunteering on several committees over the years including the Parent Liaison Committee and chairing the Gala Committee in 2022. Leslie has an adventurous spirit, which encouraged her to live in Boston, and to backpack extensively in Europe. We are pleased to have Leslie join us at Albert College as a member of the Board of Governors.
