Student Government & Clubs

Student life at Thunderbird is built around social, professional and cultural activities – many of which are organized and hosted by students themselves. Through involvement with Thunderbird Student Government and a wide range of student clubs, T-birds bring the spirit of cultural unity and global citizenship to life on campus.

Student clubs

There are more than 60 professional, regional and social clubs that actively contribute to Thunderbird’s intellectual and cross-cultural environment. These include:

Thunderbird Student Government (TSG)

Thunderbird’s active student government takes the lead in communicating news, activities and events around campus, while motivating students, faculty and staff to get involved. All students are encouraged to get involved with student government activities while on campus, and play an active role in:

• Academic matters
• Career issues
• Institutional activities
• Marketing activities
• Social events

Thunderbird Regional Nights 

Throughout the year, Thunderbird regional clubs treat fellow students, faculty, visiting professors and prospective students to “Thunderbird Regional Nights” – energetic, creative events that feature the food, drink, fashion, culture and entertainment from a particular region of the world. These events are among the highlights of the student experience at Thunderbird and broaden cultural perspectives through social engagement.
