Leon Minor currently serves as the Director of Student Conduct and Prevention Education at Tarrant County College – Northwest Campus in Fort Worth, Texas. He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counselor education with an emphasis on higher education administration from Radford University located in Southwestern Virginia.

His career in higher education began as an undergraduate where he worked as a resident assistant. His first professional positions after completing his graduate degree were in residence life, where he worked as a hall director and residence life coordinator at James Madison University (2002-2004) and Texas Tech University (2004-2006). After four years in residence life, Leon transitioned to working in student conduct. In 2006, he became the assistant director of student life at the University of North Texas (2006-2010). During his role as the assistant director of student life is where he first began participating in a formal behavioral intervention/CARE Team process. Following his time at the University of North Texas, he transitioned out of higher education to work in the business sector from 2010-2012. However, the more he worked in the business sector, the more he missed working in higher education. So, in 2012, he rejoined the world of higher education at Tarrant County College as the coordinator of student support (2012-2018). In 2019, his position was elevated to the Director of Student Conduct and Prevention Education where he currently serves.

Leon’s involvement with behavioral intervention teams began at the University of North Texas. While he was not a core member of this team, he did assist the team when addressing the needs and assessments for students in distress and/or disclosing suicidal ideation. In this role, he worked closely with the counseling center in making referrals and providing relevant information to assist the behavioral intervention team when determining the level of risk for a specific student. Once he transitioned to Tarrant County College, his role and involvement with the campus CARE Team increased as he became a co-chair for the team. In 2019, he became the chair of the campus CARE Team and currently remains in this role. As the chairperson, he schedules and facilitates weekly meetings and leads the team as they complete the NABITA risk assessment for each CARE Team referral they receive. Additionally, as team members transition off and new individuals join the team, he takes the time to complete a thorough training with the new member, so they are fully aware and knowledgeable about the work the CARE Team does for the college and their role on the team. He also provides educational opportunities about the CARE Team for the campus community so everyone (faculty, staff, and students) is aware of the team and the important work we do to assist in maintaining a safe learning environment for the campus/college community.
