Opportunities To Give

We are very proud to see our students and alumni leading the charge in the restoration of the Tower, an important symbol of Thunderbird’s unique history. As a LEED-certified “green” restoration, this project is respectful of our legacy while being mindful of our future. The tower project and those involved not only exemplify Thunderbird’s commitment to global citizenship, but also to the preservation of its proud tradition.

—Dr. Ángel Cabrera, President,
Thunderbird School Of Global Management

Call To Action

What is a Tower?

  • It’s a landmark. A reference. A signpost on the landscape. A symbol. An icon.
  • It’s a viewpoint. A new altitude. A greater height. An opportunity to rise above diversion.
    To see the horizon. To see the future. To see possibility. To know what’s coming.
  • A chance to seek clarity. To seek direction. To watch the world as it is… its geography, its
    people and its cultures.
  • It’s a house of vision. A stronghold. A foundation for guidance. A home for learning.
  • It’s a unifier. A community’s expression of itself. A leader of planes and schools and minds.
  • A place for everyone. To find ideas. To follow dreams.
  • It’s a treasure. A legacy. A future.

At Thunderbird, our Tower is in ruins. We have lost the landmark. Lost the viewpoint. Lost the clarity. And just as the Tower has always stood for our Thunderbird community, the community will now stand for our Tower. We will unify. We will fight. We will save.

But it will take us all. 30,000 strong. It will take our activism. From students taking the lead. To alumni taking ownership. To corporations taking sponsorship.

It will take you. Your effort. Your ideas. Your support. Your answer to “What can I do?”

How can you help us save a Tower, restore a legacy and build a future?
