"First Tuesday" networking events

Thunderbird 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. These “First Tuesday” events welcome prospective students for international networking and idea-sharing opportunities with our exemplary alumni.

Information sessions

Information sessions are held on-site in locations around the world. They offer you the opportunity to meet Thunderbird faculty, students and alumni and gain valuable insight into how Thunderbird can move you forward in your global business career.
