Adonis Thompson

Complex Director

SideBar Adonis Thompson SideBar

Adonis joined the VSU staff in August of 2009.  Originally from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, he graduated from Pine Bluff High School in 1999. Afterward, he achieved his B. A. in Radio/TV Production in December 2003 from Arkansas State University.  Upon leaving college he started a job as a producer/director in the Creative Services department at KAIT-TV (ABC) in Jonesboro.  A year later, he was leaving and headed to New York City to be a VJ/host for Fuse TV.  Although he loved what he was doing, Adonis felt that he had a calling to help others reach success through the collegiate ranks.  In 2009, after returning to his alma mater, he graduated with a M. S. degree in College Student Personnel Services.

While in college, Adonis was very active with student organizations such as Student Government Association, National Broadcasting Society and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.  This involvement led to him working closely with numerous administrators and faculty members on campus, and helped to grow his love for student affairs.  Adonis chose VSU's Office of Housing and Residence Life, because he wanted to have a position where he could work with students on a day-to-day basis, and help in their development as young adults.   

In his spare time, Adonis is a HUGE music fan.  It is a common staple of his life.  He also enjoys working out, sports, catching a good movie and being around good people. 

Feel free to stop by his office in Centennial Hall!
