Jimi Curry '08, United StatesAs a teenager, Jimi Curry built churches and schools in Mexico. After college graduation he spent a summer in south India, teaching conversational English to a community group. This love of culture and new experiences brought Jimi to Thunderbird - and the school's 16-month Master of Arts in Global Affairs program - where he found even more outlets for travel, cultural interaction and global citizenship. 
Rwasibo Tele Indekwe '09, RwandaRwasibo Tele Indekwe ’09 has more language-learning CDs in his car than music CDs. That love of culture and language, he says, stems directly from his refugee past. The exposure to different cultures and a sincere interest in communicating with others led Tele Indekwe to proficiency in French, English, Swahili, Kirundi, Kinyarwanda and Lingala/Congolese" - and it also led him to Thunderbird. A political science major at Florida Atlantic University, McWhirter says she's "always had an interest in government and nonprofit." Thunderbird's MA program catered to exactly what she was interested in. "I learned about nonprofit government work and global affairs in the classroom, while also learning management skills," she says. |
