Leonard Liggio has organized conferences, work-shops, and lectures, and assisted faculty and graduate research at the university level. He became a de facto dean of a college by creating a college-degree program for traditional ethnic urban women (Polish, Ukrainian, Italian, Irish, Hispanic, Black) who would not pursue education outside the traditional neighborhood (in this case, Williamsburg-Greenpoint villages in Brooklyn). He created a curriculum, including University of Chicago textbooks, recruited faculty, and operated on a morning and evening schedule. The women successfully received their degrees.

In 1977 Leonard joined the Cato Institute in its initial stages of development. He was a vice-president of the Cato Institute and developed and edited their publication, Literature of Liberty.
