Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Phi Mu Chapter

Leslie Wilson is a proud member and President of the Phi Mu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and currently serves as the Assistant Area Director for the Bahamas Islands (2025–2026). He is a graduating student of the University of The Bahamas, having successfully completed his Bachelor of Laws (LLB), and previously earned an Associate of Arts in Law and Criminal Justice.

Throughout his time at UB, Leslie remained actively engaged in both academic and extracurricular life, demonstrating a strong commitment to leadership, service, and personal development. His leadership within Alpha Phi Alpha reflects his dedication to brotherhood, mentorship, and advancing the mission of the fraternity both locally and nationally.

Following graduation, Leslie will be enrolling at the Eugene Dupuch Law School in September, where he will pursue his professional legal education with the goal of being called to the Bar of The Bahamas and becoming a practicing attorney. With a strong passion for advocacy, national development, and leadership, he also has his eyes set on a future in politics, where he hopes to contribute meaningfully to public service and governance.

One of his most valued experiences at the University of The Bahamas has been the opportunity to grow as both a student and a leader, balancing the demands of legal studies with active service in fraternity life while building lifelong bonds and making a positive impact.

He extends sincere gratitude to his family, fraternity brothers, mentors, and peers for their unwavering support throughout his journey. Leslie encourages future students to remain disciplined, embrace every opportunity for growth, and stay committed to their goals.
