The First Tuesday Tradition

Thunderbird has a network of more than 40,000 alumni living in over 140 countries. There are more than 150 active alumni chapters in cities located all over the world. These alumni chapters have a long-standing tradition of meeting once a month in a designated location to socialize and network with other alumni in the area. As a result of this tradition, a "T-Bird" graduate can be traveling to Atlanta or Beijing or Paris or Buenos Aires or Singapore, and he or she will have the opportunity to join the monthly gathering of fellow T-birds. This Global Mystique is one of the attributes that sets Thunderbird apart from any other business school in the world. After all, Thunderbird has world-renowned professors, a truly global curriculum, and a vibrant multicultural student and alumni community.
