Robin Ryan Thomas graduated from Bridgewater in 1990 with a degree in political science and worked for a number of years for a large financial institution, moving up the ranks to the position of executive assistant to the chief financial officer. Disillusioned with the corporate world and committed to making a difference, Robin began volunteering time to Unicef - planting gardens, picking up trash, painting buildings, whatever needed to be done. Robin believes passionately that it is our responsibility to give back to our communities whenever possible, and she has spent a lifetime in service of her community, finding purpose and joy along the way.

In 1992, Robin married William Thomas Jr., '92, and the couple began to raise their family. In 1999, the family moved to Bridgewater where Robin - who had previously taught religious education in South Weymouth - followed her passion to teach at Saint Thomas Aquinas, educating children for the past 12 years. Unable to pursue work outside the home due to an earlier injury, Robin threw herself into her volunteer work, soliciting donations for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and driving patients to and from Boston for treatment.

Since 2007, Robin has worked with the Bridgewater Girl Scouts, first as a Brownie leader and later as town coordinator for the products and cookies. She helps coordinate the Cookies for a Cause campaign, a collaboration between the Girl Scouts and the U.S. military. Through this initiative, scouts not only collect and send thousands of boxes of cookies to the men and women serving in the military, it also inspires young women to understand the importance of becoming involved in worthwhile community service projects.
