Annual Report on Giving 

4 On solid ground 

The early 2000s were not kind to Thunderbird. 

Rapid changes in the MBA market caught the 

school off-guard and major world events further 

hurt enrollment, pushing the school to the brink. 

But now, Thunderbird has turned around its 

fortunes and has found its footing.

YOU NEED ONLY GLANCE AT 

the front page of any newspaper 

to grasp the imperfect state of the 

world. Issues like poverty, lack of 

basic human rights, corruption 

and environmental degradation impact 

millions of people. But the world also is rich 

with prosperity, compassion, ethics, happiness 

and freedom, and I know Thunderbird 

alumni have contributed to that aspect of the 

world in countless ways. 

From Jim Alling ’85, president of Starbucks 

Coffee International, who works to 

create sustainable communities in the rural 

areas where it buys coffee, to Ambassador 

Niels Marquardt ’80, and his wife Judi ’80, 

who are in Africa trying to bring economic 

freedom to the people of Madagascar and 

Comoros, to Clay and Cindy Cooper, both 

2000 graduates, who started Speak Shop, 

which links Spanish tutors in Guatemala 

with students around the world, the 36,000 

men and women who have passed through 

Thunderbird have helped to create a better 

world. You are the living embodiment of 

our mission to educate global leaders who 

create sustainable prosperity worldwide. 

Thunderbird alumni have been and are 

ambassadors, CEOs of Fortune 500 corporations, 

international consultants, authors, 

doctors, ministers, musicians, artists, mayors, 

professional athletes, daring entrepreneurs, 

giving philanthropists and everything in 

between. As global citizens, Thunderbird 

alumni have created hundreds of thousands 

of jobs, started tens of thousands of businesses, 

invested hundreds of millions of dollars to 

help businesses start-up or grow, and aided 

tens of thousands through their work with 

non-profit organizations.

you have touched the lives of millions and 

ushered in social change that has transformed 

humanity for the better. 

With Campaign Thunderbird we are asking 

you to help us advance our mission. Our 

goal is to raise at least $65 million, funds that

global leaders who will make a difference in 

the world just as you have. Your contribution 

is more than a gift for a better school; it’s a 

pledge toward the making of a better world. 

from the president 

President Ángel Cabrera 

believes that Thunderbird 

alumni underestimate 

how much they’ve 

contributed to a better 

world. “I suspect most 

alumni aren’t even fully 

aware of the impact they 

have had on the world, 

but because of my 

position—having had the 

opportunity to meet and 

hear the stories of so 

many T-birds—I see it 

vividly. T-birds have 

changed the world.”

ON SOLID 

GROUND

BILL TIMMERMAN 

Once caught off balance by 

a confluence of rapid changes 

in the MBA market and major 

world events, Thunderbird was 

pushed to the brink. But now its 

fortunes have turned around and 

the school has found its footing 

THUNDERBIRD 

RISING 

When the MBA market 

shifted suddenly at the 

start of the 2000s, 

Thunderbird wasn’t in 

a position to adapt 

quickly enough to avoid 

hurting its bottom line. 

Since then, the school 

has transformed itself 

and is once again 

ready to soar. 

By D.J. Burrough 

IN CITIES AROUND THE WORLD, BILLIONS 

of people joyously celebrated the start of the 2000s with 

fireworks and champagne, ringing in a new year and a 

new millennium, toasting to prosperity and good fortune. 

Chimes of clinking glass resounded across the 

globe, including at Thunderbird’s pub, where students, 

faculty and staff gathered to share the historic moment. But, a time of 

prosperity did not lie ahead for the nearly 60-year-old institution. For 

Thunderbird, the new millennium marked the beginning of some very 

trying times. 

While Thunderbird still enjoyed a reputation as the finest school of 

international management in the world and its Glendale campus bustled 

with nearly 1,600 full-time students, the next few years would not 

be nearly as bright. Forced to reduce its class sizes amid a dwindling 

MBA market worldwide, and trying to maintain the same level of 

quality and options for students, Thunderbird posted a significant 

budget deficit in fiscal year 2000-01. Five consecutive years of declining 

enrollment and deficits ensued. 

thunderbird annual report on giving 5

Student enrollment once again has risen to more than 1,100, now spread among several programs. 

Committed to maintaining its admission 

standards, Thunderbird had to cut enrollment 

in its full-time program in half, to fewer than 

800 by 2005. The pool of potential students was 

rapidly shrinking as demographics in the 

MBA market changed, competition heated up, 

and interest in full-time MBA programs declined 

in favor of part-time and distance options. 

With its full-time MBA program at the 

core of Thunderbird’s revenue base, these 

market trends significantly impacted the 

school’s bottom line. 

Hundreds of new business schools were 

springing up around the world, including in 

many countries from which Thunderbird traditionally 

had attracted its students. And to 

make matters worse, the near-monopoly 

Thunderbird held in global business since its 

founding was at risk as other MBA schools began 

incorporating international business 

training into their curriculums. Then came 

9/11. Then came SARS. 

It was a foreboding time for the school and 

its new, young president, who took the helm in 

2004 at the height of the school’s troubles. Dr. 

Ángel Cabrera walked into the president’s office 

in August 2004, rolled up his sleeves and 

got to work. “The financials of the school 

weren’t pretty,” he says, recalling the state of 

the school upon his arrival, “but the commitment 

I sensed from the faculty and the staff, 

the board and the entire community to Thunderbird’s 

mission made me feel confident that 

we would be able to come out of these troubled 

waters successfully.” 

What went wrong? 

FOR NEARLY all of its history, 

Thunderbird had relied on its fulltime 

degree program to bring in the 

students and on tuition as its main 

source of revenue. By 2000, just before 

the MBA market began to shift, Thunderbird’s 

full time program accounted for 

nearly 85 percent of the student body. Thunderbird 

found itself over-reliant on a type of 

program that fewer and fewer prospective students 

were interested in. Young executives, instead, 

were looking for ways to get an MBA 

without jumping off their career track or uprooting 

their lives. 

Demographics played a key role in dampening 

demand. At the start of the millennium, 

6 spring 2008

people ages 25 to 29—the age group that historically 

pursues an MBA—hit a trough, and the 

number of people pursuing an MBA followed 

suit. Between 2001 and 2006, the number of 

GMAT test takers—the best indicator of demand 

for an MBA degree—declined by more 

than 20 percent, with those showing interest in 

a full-time program dropping off 27 percent, 

according to the Graduate Management Admissions 

Council, which administers the 

GMAT. 

“Thunderbird wasn’t the only business 

school impacted at the time,” says Dan 

LeClair, vice president and chief knowledge 

officer for the Association to Advance Collegiate 

Schools of Business (AACSB), which 

accredits schools. “There were a lot of factors 

going on out there.” 

Even though demand was dropping in the 

United States, business schools began popping 

up around the world like mushrooms after a 

rainstorm, spurred on by the demand globalization 

created for business managers. Between 

2000 and 2007, the number of business 

schools accredited by the AACSB increased 

by nearly 50 percent, from 374 to more than 551. 

China, which began the 1990s with no accredited 

business schools, now has approximately 

100, LeClair says. 

“The number of schools out there has increased 

substantially over the past decade and 

half,” LeClair says. “And those in other countries 

are more competitive than ever. Students 

in Asia and Europe have good choices now in 

their home countries.”

dents from—now have the choice of staying 

home and getting a decent MBA education. 

Globalization’s rapid advance also prompted 

just about every existing business school to 

incorporate international business into their 

core curriculums, infringing on Thunderbird’s 

academic niche of international management. 

To make matters worse 

ON TOP OF a softening MBA 

market came two events that 

would impact Thunderbird 

more than most other business 

programs. 

When that fateful day came in September 

2001, nearly three-quarters of Thunderbird’s 

full-time students were non-U.S. citizens. In 

the aftermath of 9/11, the United States government’s 

tightened security made it increasingly 

difficult for potential students outside 

the country to obtain student visas, and nearly 

impossible for them to get a work visa following 

graduation. The result: The flow of potential 

students from abroad slowed to a trickle. 

By fall 2002, foreign-born students made up 

less than half the students in the full-time program. 

“As it became more difficult for students to 

study in the United States, they sought other 

alternatives,” LeClair says. 

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 

(SARS) epidemic that hit China and Taiwan 

in late 2002 also impacted Thunderbird. Out of 

fear of propelling the spread of the deadly disease, 

which infected more than 5,000 in China,

Chinese officials canceled GMAT testing— 

the test required for entry into most MBA programs, 

including Thunderbird—during the 

height of the near-pandemic. Before the drop 

in visas and the SARS epidemic, Chinese students 

made up nearly 12 percent of the students 

in the full-time program. By the start of the 

spring trimester in 2003, they accounted for 

less than 5 percent. Concurrently, the executive 

education program Thunderbird had in 

operation in Taiwan was put on hold because 

few professors were willing to risk traveling 

there. 

A ray of hope 

IN THE MIDSTof the confluence of 

challenges faced by Thunderbird came 

alumnus and board member Sam 

Garvin ’88, and his wife, Rita, who in 

early 2004 made history by pledging a 

$60 million gift to the School—at the time, the 

single largest pledge ever received by a business 

school. The Garvins’ lifetime gift, of 

which more than $12 million has been received 

to date, brought not only an important cash infusion 

but also was a significant show of support 

for Thunderbird in a challenging MBA 

marketplace. 

“Today, the world needs more global leaders 

to serve as the bridge between cultures, and the 

Thunderbird degree, with its emphasis on 

world business, international studies and languages, 

is perhaps the most important, relevant 

and respected advanced degree a student 

of world business can possess,” Garvin said at 

the time. 

Garvin’s largesse, however generous, wasn’t 

enough to counteract the market changes that 

were hurting Thunderbird’s bottom line. 

“In order to maintain quality, we had to 

shrink our programs faster than we anticipated 

and faster than we could right-size the organization 

to fit with the new reality,” says 

Thunderbird Chief Financial Officer Tim 

Propp, who joined the school in late 2000. 

While the Garvins’ gift provided much-needed 

resources to support new initiatives, it did 

not eliminate the need to restructure the 

School’s operations, he says. 

“It would have been a mistake to utilize the 

Garvin gift to mask the problems inherent in 

the school’s business model and operations 

rather than to invest in Thunderbird’s future 

success as it was always intended,” he says. 

“The MBA market had shifted and it was our 

responsibility to take a hard look at ourselves 

and to make some tough choices about our operations, 

which ultimately made us a much 

more focused and efficient institution.” 

Turning the corner 

THUNDERBIRD’S turnaround 

efforts began before 2004, during 

the final years of President 

Roy Herberger’s administration. 

By the time Cabrera arrived 

on campus though, it was clear that even 

deeper changes would be required. Over the 

following three years, the school would trim 

costs, improve the efficient use of its facilities 

and programs around the world, reconsider 

the size of the faculty and staff in certain areas, 

leverage its partnerships with key business 

schools around the world to increase opportu-

nities for students, restructure, reposition and 

re-price its executive education programs, and 

introduce new degree and non-degree programs 

that would respond to evolving market 

preferences and demand. 

Marketing and communications were 

strengthened to better position the Thunderbird 

brand in an increasingly crowded market, 

and a new structure for student recruiting was 

put in place to more effectively attract top students 

from around the world. The faculty assumed 

higher teaching loads and tuition was 

increased across all programs. Salaries were 

frozen. Unprofitable overseas operations were 

closed. The portfolio of programs was revised, 

new programs were created, and the curriculum 

of existing programs underwent signifi- 

cant upgrades. Staff and faculty positions were 

eliminated in stages, first in 2001, which saw 

early retirements and position reductions of 

more than 45 faculty and staff, then in 2004 

with a reduction of 40 staff, and in 2005 with 

early retirements and position reductions of 29 

faculty and staff. 

“Those are some of the toughest decisions 

any manager has to face, but, we had the responsibility 

of doing what we had to do to secure 

the future of Thunderbird,” Cabrera says. 

“And no one of those actions would have sufficed 

in and of itself. It all had to be done across 

the board.” 

A new strategic plan was developed under 

the rubric Thunderbird 2010, which was intended 

to guide the school until the year 2010. 

Thunderbird expanded the number of universities 

with which it has dual degree programs. Senior 

Vice President and Provost Rob Widing signed an 

agreement with Soochow University in 2007. 

Thunderbird has diversified its portfolio of offerings, 

which now includes the Global MBA for Latin 

American Managers. 


Making headlines 

Top news organizations worldwide taking notice 

as Thunderbird embarks on changes, new mission 

Thunderbird professor Paul Kinsinger is one of many 

faculty members whose expertise was called on by 

print, radio and television outlets worldwide in the 

past two years. 

THUNDERBIRD CAN’T COMPARE with 

a field of hard-charging presidential 

candidates or the adoption-addicted 

combo of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but the 

school is getting its fair share of media attention. 

Some of the world’s most influential news 

organizations—CNN, BBC, The Wall Street 

Journal, the Financial Times, BusinessWeek, 

the Economist and Forbes, to name a few—have 

taken increasingly greater notice of Thunderbird 

in the past few years, drawn to the school as it 

has more clearly staked out its positions on 

ethics and sustainability, and embarked on a 

concerted public relations strategy. 

“What Thunderbird stands for in terms of 

incorporating ethics and sustainability in its 

curriculum is resonating with the media,” says 

Carol Sunnucks, Thunderbird’s senior director of 

corporate communications. “Attention also has 

been turned our way because of the new degree 

programs and other changes we’ve made across 

the organization. And it doesn’t hurt that quite a 

few of our alumni are reaching milestones in 

their careers that are also garnering media 

attention.” 

From June, when Thunderbird signed with a 

new media tracking service, through the end of 

2007, 950 stories were written about the school 

or its alumni, which amounts to more than 

$15 million worth of exposure. Stories about 

Thunderbird alumni and their accomplishments 

made up about 61 percent of the total media 

hits, 52 percent of the total circulation reached 

and 20 percent of the total advertising value. 

“The alumni make a significant contribution to 

the school’s public relations successes and help 

maintain and solidify Thunderbird’s brand in the 

marketplace,” Sunnucks says. 

Since the media tracking service looks only for 

articles that include the Thunderbird name, it’s 

impossible to estimate exactly how many other 

stories are written about alumni, she says. 

Alumni can help the school not only by 

mentioning their academic background when 

interviewed, but also by using the current 

name—Thunderbird School of Global 

Management—rather than any of the former 

names. 

In early 2006, Thunderbird restructured its 

public relations department, hired new staff and 

began a coordinated media push. Since that 

time, the school has seen its total media 

exposure—and the advertising value of that 

exposure—rise to a level never seen before in 

the school’s history.

As Thunderbird 2010 became more defined, so 

too did Thunderbird’s mission statement and 

the supporting ideals. By the fall of 2005, the 

new mission statement was: “We educate 

global leaders who create sustainable prosperity 

worldwide.” In support of that mission, the 

school also defined five beliefs that defined 

Thunderbird’s view on what makes a global 

leader: Global Mindset, Global Entrepreneurship, 

Global Connections, Global Citizenship 

and Global Thought Leadership. 

“The new mission statement re-defined 

Thunderbird not around one specific program,” 

Cabrera says, “but around one educational 

objective, which could and should be attained 

through multiple programs to better 

serve the demands of a rapidly evolving world. 

The new mission statement also reminded all 

stakeholders of the ultimate dream behind the 

founding of Thunderbird: to contribute to a 

more peaceful and prosperous world by educating 

globally minded leaders capable of creating 

value across national and cultural 

boundaries.” 

Thunderbird 2010 structured the school’s 

business model around three distinct but mutually 

supporting business units: Academic 

Programs, which would house all the degree 

programs; Corporate Learning, which would 

house all non-degree programs and services 

offered to corporate clients; and the Research 

and Knowledge Network, a think tank dedicated 

to advancing our knowledge of global 

business and management and making that 

knowledge available to practicing managers 

and corporations worldwide. 

“We had to go from thinking we were a 

school that offered one single program, to 

thinking of ourselves as an institution that creates 

and disseminates knowledge and educates 

leaders of global enterprises in a spectrum of 

ways,” Cabrera says. 

Thunderbird 2010 established a number of 

priorities for each of the three units that were 

summarized in the four “Rs”: 

1. Relevance—all programs must be consistent 

with the school’s unique mission and beliefs 

and clearly differentiated in the market 

place; 

2. Reach—programs ought to target highgrowth 

markets to impact more lives; 

3. Resources—each activity and program 

must generate sufficient financial returns to 

guarantee Thunderbird’s long-term viability 

and competitiveness; 

4. Research—Thunderbird must be clearly 

positioned as a premier source of knowledge 

and ideas for the advancement of global management 

practices. 

Academic Programs 

In summer 2006, a new curriculum for 

the MBA in Global Management—the 

full-time program—was introduced. 

The new curriculum offered a one-year 

track for students with meaningful 

business undergraduate backgrounds, added 

new content in line with the school’s core values, 

and reinstated a language requirement for 

all students. 

“The changes we made to the curriculum 

represented a return to our core values,” says 

Senior Vice President and Provost Rob Widing. 

“It was critical that the school offer a number 

of ways to get a Thunderbird education, 

but we couldn’t lose sight of the fact that our 

reputation is built on the quality of the full- 

time program, and that the full-time program 

should therefore be a flagship of the school’s 

beliefs around global management education.” 

In fall 2005, the school launched a brand new 

Global MBA On-Demand program, which 

for the first time used a sophisticated collaborative, 

Internet-mediated learning methodology 

that broke down geographic barriers in delivering 

a Thunderbird MBA to working professionals 

around the world. The program, 

while somewhat controversial among students 

and alumni at the time, has been highly 

successful and each subsequent cohort has 

grown larger and more diverse. The newest, 

and fifth, cohort to enter the 18-month program 

has 50 students. 

“Now that the program has been running 

for a couple of years, there is a greater awareness 

among prospective students that Thunderbird 

offers a quality Web-based degree,” 

says Dr. Bert Valencia, a Thunderbird vice 

president and head of the program. “Students 

who would otherwise be unable to study at 

Thunderbird are very happy that we offer this 

option.” 

President Ángel Cabrera 

says “We had to go from 

thinking we were a 

school that offered one 

single program, to 

thinking of ourselves as 

an institution that 

creates and disseminates 

knowledge and educates 

leaders of global 

enterprises in a 

spectrum of ways.” 


With the addition of the master’s degree programs, Thunderbird’s campus again is populated with younger 

students, even one teenager, who mix with those in the full-time program. 

In 2005, Thunderbird began its first custom-designed 

MBA program for LG Electronics, which is putting 150 

of its top executives through the program. 

Another academic change marked a return 

to Thunderbird’s historical roots, with the 

start of two master’s degree programs that attract 

students very early in their careers and 

even fresh out of undergraduate programs. In 

2001, when the school switched from the master’s 

degree in international management to 

the MBA in international management, 

which required greater work experience, it virtually 

eliminated younger students from the 

student body. 

The two new degrees, the master of science 

in global management and the master of arts 

in global affairs and management, began in fall 

2007 with more students than the school anticipated. 

The programs were projected to kick 

off with about two dozen students, but the 

master of arts attracted 13 and the master of science 

brought in 22. 

Thunderbird also has greatly expanded the 

number of schools with which it has exchange 

programs, adding to the opportunities from 

which students can choose to have their global 

experiences. By fall 2007, Thunderbird had 

partnership agreements with 17 MBA schools 

in countries such as Australia, Brazil, France, 

Spain, Germany, China, Finland, India, Costa 

Rica, Mexico and Korea. 

The school also continued to add to the 

number of dual degree programs it offers. 

With the addition of a dual degree program 

with Indiana University’s Kelley School of 

Business in summer 2006, Thunderbird had 16 

such programs throughout the world. 

The Global MBA for Latin American Managers 

program, which Thunderbird offers in 

partnership with Tecnologico de Monterrey in 

Mexico, has expanded its locations to seven 

countries in Latin America and is in Miami. In 

May 2007, the school awarded the 1,000th 

MBA in the program. 

“Having a balanced portfolio of programs 

has not only allowed Thunderbird to deliver 

its unique brand of global management education 

to a broader spectrum of students, it has 

also insulated it from the kinds of dramatic 

drops in the MBA market that threatened it 

just a few years ago,” Widing says. 

In fall 2006 and again in fall 2007, the students 

enrolled in the full-time program were 

outnumbered by those enrolled in other degree

programs: the Global MBA On-Demand, the 

Global MBA for Latin American Managers, 

the custom Executive MBA for LG Electronics, 

and the Executive MBA in Global Management, 

the Master of Arts in Global Affairs 

and Management and the Master of Science in 

Global Management. Thunderbird’s total fall 

enrollment exceeded 1,100 students—a balanced 

mix of 44 percent in the full-time MBA 

program, 37 percent in the Global MBA program, 

12 percent in the Executive MBA program, 

3 percent in the master’s degree programs 

and 4 percent in non-degree programs. 

Corporate Learning 

ALONG WITH diversifying its 

academic offerings, Thunderbird 

revamped its business model, 

price points and offerings for 

Thunderbird Corporate Learning, 

which had steady growth over the years, 

but was less profitable than it could have been. 

The school began by raising the tuition for 

its executive education programs, bringing 

them up to a level commensurate with the 

high-end executive education marketplace. 

Even though Thunderbird’s executive education 

programs were consistently ranked 

among the best in the world by the Financial 

Times and other publications, the programs 

were often priced much lower than those offered 

by schools with less polished reputations. 

“Our corporate clients were getting a worldclass 

education in global business management 

but weren’t paying anything near world-

class prices, so we needed to rethink our pricing 

strategy,” says Beth Stoops, who was 

named interim head of Corporate Learning in 

fall 2006 and promoted permanently to senior 

vice president a year later. 

The price increases, along with a restructuring 

of the compensation structure for faculty 

teaching in these programs, resulted in significantly 

higher gross margins and revenue increases 

for Corporate Learning, and this strategic 

business unit now accounts for more than 

40 percent of Thunderbird’s overall program 

revenue. 

As a testament to the value of Thunderbird 

programs among corporate clients, the price 

increases created no impediment in signing up 

existing clients and adding new ones, Stoops 

says. In June 2005, Thunderbird landed a multimillion-dollar 

MBA contract with LG Electronics, 

creating its first custom-designed 

MBA for a corporation, to educate 150 of its top 

managers over a five-year period. 

This and other non-degree custom programs 

for top global companies worldwide 

continue to show strong growth at Thunderbird. 

Corporate Learning ran 185 custom programs 

in 2007, a nearly 16 percent increase 

from the 160 that ran in 2005. 

In fall 2004, Thunderbird partnered with 

Bisk Education, one of the United States’ 

largest providers of online education, to offer 

two online certificates—in global marketing 

and in international management. The programs 

distribute content from Thunderbird’s 

faculty and provide significant revenues to the 

School, Stoops says. They also advance the 

school’s mission to be the leading provider of

School’s reach. Bisk is now working with the 

school to offer online some of Thunderbird’s 

open enrollment programs, which are briefer, 

non-degree programs designed to develop specific 

global skills and knowledge. 

Thunderbird Corporate Learning also generates 

significant revenues from a broad portfolio 

of programs: 

Custom Programs—which provide solutions 

designed to meet the needs of individual 

clients; 

Thunderbird International Consortia Programs—which 

provide semi-custom programs 

to participants from multiple corporations; 

Thunderbird Language and Culture Programs—which 

provide intensive language and 

cultural immersion experiences; 

Thunderbird Learning Consulting Network—a 

consulting firm that taps the talents 

of the faculty, alumni and MBA students; 

CBSD Thunderbird Russia—which offers 

business skills development and leadership 

evaluation programs to thousands of Russian 

and Central Asian managers each year; 

Open enrollment programs—which offer 

short, specialized programs in areas from leadership 

skills to crisis management. 

Corporate Learning continued to offer executive 

education degree and non-degree programs 

around the world in Glendale, Prague, 

Geneva, Paris, Seoul, Moscow, Beijing and 

Singapore. 

Since these changes were introduced, Corporate 

Learning has produced 55 percent 

growth in average daily fees for custom programs 

and 16 percent average annual growth in 

revenue. Revenue for Corporate Learning increased 

by 79 percent from fiscal year 2000-01 

to fiscal year 2006-07. In fiscal year 2006-07, 

Corporate Learning had revenue of more than 

$21 million, which accounts for more than 40 

percent of Thunderbird’s overall program revenue. 

Research & Knowledge Network 

CREATED IN early 2006, the Research 

& Knowledge Network 

(RKN) is designed to coordinate 

the research generated by the 

Thunderbird faculty, secure 

funding to underwrite that research, and create 

seminars and programs that get that cutting-edge 

knowledge to corporate partners and 

senior executives. 

“This is Thunderbird’s think tank,” says Dr. 

Mansour Javidan, who in October was named 

head of the nascent business unit. “We want 

RKN to be the hub for the exchange of knowledge 

and ideas among global managers worldwide, 

creating a forum of the most important 

issues around global management.”

Matter of fact 

FOR THE FIRST TIME in seven years, 

Thunderbird School of Global 

Management posted a positive 

change in total net assets for the year, 

with an increase of $487,000—a 

reflection of the efforts of the past several 

years to cut costs, diversify revenue 

and operate the school more efficiently. 

Total net assets at June 30, 2007, were 

$34.6 million and are expected to 

continue growing in the current fiscal 

year, due to increasing matriculations 

(up more than 14 percent) and increasing 

revenue in Corporate Learning (in excess 

of 20 percent), and with Campaign 

Thunderbird now in full swing. 

Thunderbird intends to continue to 

openly share these statements of 

financial position and activities in 

subsequent reports, so that alumni and 

other supporters can see clearly the 

efforts the school is making to improve 

its financial condition.

“The turnaround 

of 

the school 

in the 

last few 

years is 

absolutely

and

its finest 

moments.” 

Started just two years ago, Thunderbird’s Global MBA On-Demand program is highly rated and an 

increasingly popular way for students to get the school’s unique global management education. 

housed within the Research & Knowledge 

Network: the Lincoln Center for Ethics in 

Global Management, the Garvin Center for 

Cultures and Languages of International 

Management, the Center for Global Entrepreneurship 

and the Thunderbird Global Private 

Equity Center. 

“We will concentrate our research in areas 

that are consistent with our mission and that 

support Thunderbird’s reputation as the world 

leader in international management education,” 

Javidan says. 

RKN seeks to obtain research funding from 

corporations and foundations, and will develop 

and execute strategies to disseminate that 

research in a way that provides capital for additional 

research, Javidan says. 

The first faculty research project to be 

brought to corporations via seminars and 

workshops will be Javidan’s Global Mindset 

project. The Research & Knowledge Network 

is working with Corporate Learning to 

create seminars around the Global Mindset 

Inventory (GMI), a psychometric assessment 

tool he designed to measure the specific 

social, psychological and intellectual attributes 

that enable a manager to influence individuals, 

groups and organizations from different 

sociocultural systems. In essence, the 

GMI will gauge who will make a good global 

manager. 

Interest in the research is significant and 

growing, Javidan says, pointing out that the 

school already has signed a partnership agreement 

with New York-based Business for 

Diplomatic Action to create a one-day workshop 

built on Global Mindset research. 

Poised for growth 

IN MY OPINION the turnaround of 

the school in the last few years is absolutely 

remarkable and one of its 

finest moments,” says Thunderbird 

Board of Trustees Chairman David 

Roberts ’73. “Through the leadership of President 

Cabrera, his staff and a loyal and dedicated 

faculty, the board approved a plan to rationalize 

the expense base, diversify product offerings, 

and clarify its mission and values consistent 

with our great heritage. Throughout these 

past years, the Board of Trustees has been 

committed, indeed actively involved, in supporting 

the recovery plan, and they are now 

optimistically looking to the future with great 

anticipation.” 

With a firm footing in the increasingly 

crowded MBA marketplace, Thunderbird is 

poised to increase its reach and impact as a creator 

of global leaders. Ideally, Cabrera says, the 

school will grow to become an institution with 

more than $100 million in annual revenue. 

Thunderbird has some clear advantages 

over the newer entrants into global manage- 

16 spring 2008

ment education. The school’s commitment to 

creating leaders with an understanding of issues 

of sustainability, corporate social responsibility 

and ethics has differentiated Thunderbird 

from the pack. 

“The business role in sustainability and 

ethics is shifting,” says the AACSB’s LeClair. 

“It’s going from a more reactive mode of merely 

being responsive to the public to playing a 

more strategic role in society.” 

The continued spread of globalization and 

the opening of once closed countries also help 

Thunderbird, LeClair says, because it creates 

increasing demand for managers able to work 

across cultures. 

Thunderbird’s other advantages: 

It’s consistently recognized as the No. 1 

school of international management by such 

publications as the Financial Times, The Wall 

Street Journal and U.S. News & World Report. 

And these top rankings never wavered during 

the financial difficulties. The school has maintained 

its edge in global management education 

since its founding. 

Thunderbird has strong brand awareness 

among global companies. 

Its executive education program—the 

fastest-growing segment of the market—is 

consistently ranked in the top 10. 

The school has a diverse student and faculty 

body who bring a truly global experience to the 

campus and their classrooms. 

And, it has more than 36,000 alumni, who 

live and work in more than 146 countries and 

are leaders in virtually every industry, and 

who serve as ambassadors of the school and 

mentors to those who graduated after them. 

WITH THE diversification 

of its product portfolio 

has come a rosier financial 

picture for Thunderbird, 

and projections 

show the school will finish 2007-08 fiscal year 

with a surplus, the first time the school has 

been in the black in more than eight years. Projections 

also indicate further enrollment and 

revenue growth. 

“The market has responded positively to 

our actions,” Cabrera says. “Our faculty has 

done an amazing job in bringing our programs 

to the cutting-edge of management education 

and driving innovative research. More students 

are applying to Thunderbird, our graduates 

are finding better jobs and finding them 

faster, more companies are signing up for larger 

corporate learning contracts, and our rankings 

have been outstanding. We’re ready for 

the next step.” 

Thunderbird rankings 

stand test of time 

Despite some financial difficulties in the early 2000s, 

the quality of Thunderbird’s education never suffered, 

and the school’s rankings around the world held strong, 

including seven years in the No. 1 spot of The Wall Street 

Journal rankings and 12 years at the top of U.S. News & 

World Report’s rankings.

CAMPAIGN 

THUNDERBIRD 

READY TO SOAR 

Thunderbird is now wellpositioned 

to grow, and 

is asking its alumni and 

other supporters to 

donate $65 million to the 

school to fund its future. 

Now on solid ground after years of trying 

times, Thunderbird is poised to significantly 

expand its presence in the MBA industry, 

and has launched a $65 million capital 

campaign to fund its plans 

By D.J. Burrough 

DECLINING ENROLLMENT AND FINANCIAL 

difficulties battered Thunderbird in the early 2000s and 

pushed the 61-year-old institution to the brink. But with 

the implementation of a new strategic plan and a restructuring 

of its business model, the school ultimately landed 

back on solid ground in 2007 and 

now is poised to invest in its longterm 

future and expansion. 

To accomplish this, Thunderbird 

has embarked on a $65 million 

fundraising campaign that asks 

T-birds around the world to commit 

their time and resources to support 

the school’s transformation. In accordance 

with the Thunderbird 2010 

strategic plan, the campaign will 

raise funds for scholarships, professorships, 

curricular innovation and 

research, improved facilities, technology 

and operations. 

“We’re looking for the support of 

everyone in the Thunderbird community to take the school to the next 

level,” Thunderbird President Ángel Cabrera says. “The funds donated 

during this campaign will help us to expand our presence in the 

world and bring the unique Thunderbird experience and education to 

countless more young men and women seeking to become global managers 

who create sustainable prosperity.” 

While still in what is commonly referred to, in the vernacular of 

fundraising campaigns, as “the quiet phase,” the school has garnered 

commitments of more than $13 million from alumni and members of 

the Thunderbird Board of Trustees. In December, in a show of support

for the school and its mission, Trustee Barbara 

Barrett and her husband, Dr. Craig Barrett, 

pledged $5 million, bringing the total commitments 

thus far to $18 million. The couple also 

agreed to serve as chairs of the campaign. 

As campaign chairs, the Barretts will rally 

the Thunderbird trustees, faculty, staff, students, 

alumni and other supporters of the 

school. Over the next three years, they will 

work closely with President Cabrera and 

Thunderbird Chief Development Officer 

Joan Neice to realize the goal. 

Cabrera says the school is fortunate to have 

such notable Arizonans leading the charge for 

Campaign Thunderbird. “The Barretts represent 

Thunderbird’s core values. They are global 

citizens, international business leaders and 

diplomats who strive to make the world a better 

place through business and education.” 

In just a few short months, Campaign 

Thunderbird has received a groundswell of 

support as Cabrera and the development team 

have crisscrossed the world meeting with 

board members and alumni to win their support. 

The figure of $65 million that Campaign 

Thunderbird seeks to raise was determined by 

the needs and goals outlined in Thunderbird 

2010. It’s expected that the campaign will be 

fulfilled through a combination of outright 

gifts, multiyear pledges and payments, and de- 

ferred or planned gifts, which will come from 

alumni, faculty, students, staff, trustees, corporate 

clients, foundations and other supporters 

of Thunderbird. The school also plans to 

pump in $15 million from the sale of Thunderbird’s 

vacant land, which ultimately will give 

the school $80 million to invest. 

Thunderbird’s Development Office has set 

2011 as the deadline by which all commitments 

must be made for Campaign Thunderbird. 

“This campaign is larger and has a more aggressive 

timeline than any previous fundraising 

effort,” Neice says. “The early gifts to the 

campaign are setting the pace and inspiring 

others to give to Thunderbird in support of its 

mission, vision and future. Building the 

school’s endowment and funding key initiatives 

are intended to strengthen Thunderbird’s 

position in the MBA marketplace worldwide. 

This is an important moment in our history 

and requires the entire Thunderbird community 

to rally around the school. ” 

Now is the time 

Cabrera says having early commitments 

from board members such as the Barretts represents 

a show of support that will help build 

momentum as the campaign unfolds. 

The time is right for Campaign Thunderbird, 

Cabrera says, because after years of struggle 

Thunderbird is finally in a position to 

grow. It will use the donations not to simply 

sustain the school, but to invest in ways that 

secure the school’s long-term competitive advantage. 

“Thunderbird is on solid ground,” Cabrera 

says. “We’ve diversified our portfolio with 

new degree and non-degree programs, we’ve 

expanded our global presence, we’ve raised the 

school’s global profile, we’ve added some significant 

corporate clients, we continue to receive 

stellar reviews by international publications 

for the quality of our education, costs are 

under control, and applications and enrollment 

are up in virtually all programs. We’re 

ready to grow in every way.” 

In order to realize that growth, Campaign 

Thunderbird will infuse $40 million into the 

school’s endowment for scholarships, research, 

chairs and professorships. The current 

endowment is approximately $23 million. 

Compared with other top schools, that 

amount is relatively low and does not provide 

sufficient earnings to fully support the school’s 

mission and vision as outlined in its strategic 

plan, Thunderbird 2010. 

“The key to achieving and surpassing our 

campaign goal must be deep involvement 

20 spring 2008

research and bringing in new professors. Here, Professor Michael Moffet leads a finance course. 

from our alumni around the world,” says 

Chairman of the Board of Trustees David 

Roberts ’73. “Over the past year, I have spoken 

to alumni groups and often I have been asked, 

‘How can I help?’ And my answer is simple: 

‘Become involved and committed to this capital 

campaign.’ A financially strong Thunderbird 

will surely further enhance its global reputation 

and, in the process, benefit us all in so 

many ways. With this kind of participation, I 

am very confident we will meet our campaign 

goal and then some.” 

Scholarships: 

New faces from new places 

Goal: $25 million 

Annual impact: $1 million a year 

Growth: 25 percent 

While Thunderbird already attracts the best 

and brightest from around the world, the 

school would like to extend its reach and provide 

access to students from emerging markets. 

Improving the school’s scholarship capacity 

also will keep it competitive with other 

schools that can lure some of the best students 

with higher and longer-term scholarship offers. 

With greater funding capacity, Thunderbird 

has an opportunity to provide scholarships 

to students whose profile is one of a 

T-bird but who may not be able to afford it 

without a scholarship. 

Unlike many other business schools, Thunderbird 

draws primarily from its operating 

budget to fund scholarships. Of the approximately 

$4 million Thunderbird spent on 

scholarships for new and continuing students 

during the 2006-07 fiscal year, only about 

$70,000 came from donor funds for new students 

and $600,000 from donor funds for continuing 

students. When weighing their options, 

prospective students closely examine

“It’s one 

of the last 

buildings 

on campus 

that has 

that 

original 


feel.” 

Raise a glass 

Initiative aims to move Pub to Tower Building 

ASTUDENT-ALUMNI initiative is under 

way to combine Thunderbird’s two most 

cherished places—the Tower Building 

and the Pub—as a way for the school to retain 

its historic roots. 

The group proposes to refurbish the closed 

Tower Building and move the Pub into that 

space, along with the ThunderShop and a new 

student union. The plan also calls for the project 

to use environmentally friendly construction 

techniques and materials. If all goes according 

to plan, the new facility could be open in time 

for celebratory drinks by spring 2009. 

Falyne Chave ’09, Andrew Burman ’09, 

Rebecca Mitchell ’09 and Will Counts ’09 

have joined forces with alumnus Bill Johnson 

’60, an advisor on the effort, to raise approximately 

$2 million to realize the plan. The group 

hopes to begin construction no later than fall 

2008. 

Organizers began fund-raising efforts in 

December, appealing first to the T-birds who 

were instrumental in getting the Pub built: 

1970 graduates. In early February, Thunderbird 

Trustee Merle A. Hinrichs ’65, who founded 

Global Sources in Hong Kong, pledged 

$100,000 to the project. The funds will be 

used to commission design plans and start on 

improvements, which will include a new roof, 

skylights, new trusses and new windows. 

The Tower, which in years past held a coffee 

shop and student lounge, was closed in 2006 

after cracks were found in some of the building’s 

wooden support beams. “We don’t want to tear 

the entire building down and lose those feelings 

tied to the building,” says Counts, who owned a 

historic reconstruction company in Kansas City, 

Mo. prior to becoming a student. 

The effort to move the Pub to the Tower 

Building is, in part, being driven by the 

possibility of a future sale of the land where the 

38-year-old student gathering place now sits. 

A rezoning effort is under way for the entire 

campus that could allow, at some point, for the 

possible sale of land along 59th Avenue. 

School officials say they are not actively 

seeking to sell or develop those parcels, but are 

pursuing the zoning change so the school will 

have greater flexibility going forward. “Any future 

development of those parcels would occur only 

after the school’s core campus has been 

upgraded and expanded,” says Thunderbird 

CFO Tim Propp. 

“It’s one of the last buildings on campus that 

has that original Thunderbird feel,” Counts says. 

“The Tower has the most emotional attachment. 

Doing this would create that central place on 

campus again.”

the awards schools offer for new and existing 

students. 

“We sometimes lose students to other 

schools,” says Catherine King-Todd, Thunderbird’s 

director of financial aid. “Greater 

scholarship funds would help elevate the quality 

and diversity of the student body, which 

would, in turn, improve the learning environment 

for everyone.” 

During Campaign Thunderbird, the school 

hopes to raise $25 million toward scholarships. 

Of that, the school will spend $1 million annually 

during the duration of the campaign on 

scholarships and the remaining $20 million 

would be placed in a permanent endowment 

that would provide, in perpetuity, $1 million a 

year for scholarships. An investment of that 

size would increase the scholarship fund by 

more than 25 percent. 

With a scholarship fund of that size, Thunderbird 

could offer larger awards and more of 

them to incoming and continuing students, 

making the school a more viable choice for students 

with great potential who need significant 

financial assistance, King-Todd says. 

Global Thought Leadership: 

Groundbreaking research 


Annual impact: $1 million a year 


Thunderbird attracts some of the top professors 

in global business from around the world 

to teach in its full-time and executive education 

programs, but limited funding restricts 

the size of Thunderbird’s faculty body, and 

therefore limits their ability to invest their 

time and resources into research. The school’s 

current endowment contributed less than 

$300,000 toward faculty spending in fiscal year 

2006-07. 

Although Thunderbird’s faculty consistently 

ranks high for diversity, the percentage with 

doctorates and the quality of teaching, as a 

whole the school ranks low in the category of 

faculty research. For example, in its 2007 ranking 

of the top full-time U.S. programs, the Financial 

Times ranked Thunderbird 62nd for research. 

With the creation of the Research & Knowledge 

Network (RKN), Thunderbird has made 

a commitment to be the leader in groundbreaking, 

relevant research and knowledge in 

the area of global business. An endowment for 

the capital campaign will help fund this key 

initiative.

million to fund thought leadership. As with 

scholarships, $1 million will be dedicated annually 

in the form of professorships and research 

support during the duration of the campaign. 

The remaining $20 million will be 

placed in a permanent fund that would ensure, 

in perpetuity, $1 million annually. The funds 

generated by the endowment would increase 

Thunderbird’s annual research budget by 40 

percent. 

“To produce the quality of research that is 

essential in today’s business world, additional 

Lecture halls 53-55 were the last stand-alone classrooms to be built on 

Thunderbird’s Glendale campus. The halls were constructed in the 1980s. 


Donations to Campaign Thunderbird will be used to 

better integrate students and classes from various 

programs around the world. 

funding is needed,” says Dr. Mansour Javidan, 

dean of research and RKN head. “Faculty need 

time to gather data, conduct studies and write 

high-level research papers, which complements 

and strengthens their time in the classroom.” 

Donations in this area will go toward hiring 

additional world-class faculty members and 

professors prominent in their fields of expertise 

and known for their excellence in the classroom 

and cutting-edge research. The funds al- 

so will be used to recruit and develop adjunct 

faculty around the world, and to provide research 

assistants to aid in projects. 

The very best research that comes out of 

RKN would fund additional research projects 

by generating revenue for the school in the 

form of executive seminars, books and other 

workshops. 

The research centers housed within the Research 

& Knowledge Network are The Lincoln 

Center for Ethics in Global Management, 

The Garvin Center for Culture and Languages 

of International Management, the 

Center for Global Entrepreneurship, and the 

Thunderbird Private Equity Center. 

Facilities, Technology and 

Curricular Innovation 


Annual impact: $2 million-plus 

Growth: 50 percent in budgets for facility 

improvements and technology upgrades 

Now in its 61st year as an educational institution, 

Thunderbird’s campus and technology 

are in need of upgrades, according to Chris 

Lee, associate vice president of financial and 

administrative services, who says the learning 

environment must be upgraded to serve the 

school’s growth in size, sophistication and geographic 

reach. 

“As the market becomes more and more 

global, Thunderbird must improve its technology 

and facilities to maintain a world-class 

learning experience,” he says. “This includes 

upgrades to classrooms, auditoriums, residences 

and lodging for students and corporate 

clients. Investments in facilities and technology 

are essential to perpetuating a far-reaching, 

global learning community.” 

Thunderbird’s Career Management Center, 

which was built in 1994, was the last new construction 

on the Glendale campus. The last 

stand-alone classroom space to be built came 

in the 1980s with the development of lecture 

hall 53; the Clarke and Betty Nelson Lecture 

Hall (54); and the Pharmacia Corp. Lecture 

Hall (55). 

In terms of technology, the school has in recent 

years embarked on new technology-based 

academic programs and uses a state-of-the-art 

distance learning center to deliver its Global 

MBA On-Demand and its Global MBA for 

Latin American Managers. But it is the only 

classroom of its kind on campus. Other classrooms 

are in need of additional power outlets, 

wireless Internet connection, and new instructional 

computers. 

24 spring 2008

Wireless Internet connection is available in 

a limited capacity around campus and isn’t 

available in any of the full-time classrooms. 

Many of the classrooms have too few power 

outlets to accommodate the growing number 

of students working exclusively on laptop 

computers, which are more the norm than the 

exception among today’s students. 

Campaign donations would fund wireless 

Internet connectivity throughout campus, additional 

power outlets in all classrooms, satellite 

and two-way video conferencing in classrooms, 

top-quality data projectors, new computers, 

improved lighting, and new desks and 

chairs. 

Donations also would fund software for a 

new learning management system that allows 

students and professors to stay connected 

more easily. 

Investments in curriculum and programs 

include broadening the services offered 

through Thunderbird’s Career Management 

Center by adding career advisers, which 

would support the school in offering those careers 

services to students outside the full-time 

program. The school also will expand resources 

at the Merle Hinrichs International 

Business Information Centre. 

Funds also would be spent to integrate students 

and classes from various programs 

around the world. The school recently blended 

its Executive MBA program in Glendale with 

its counterpart in Prague and would like to explore 

ways to share and integrate more course 

work across all programs. 

Campaign Thunderbird seeks to raise at 

least $15 million to fund investments in facilities 

and information technology and $5 million 

for curricular innovations and student 

support. More than $2 million needs to be 

added to the operating budget annually over 

1.6 percent of 

Thunderbird’s 06-07 

operating budget came 

from endowments. 

If Thunderbird reaches 

its campaign goal, 

that number will be 

5 percent. 

the next five years to support the growth in 

both on-campus and distance programs. The 

remaining $10 million will support curriculum 

and program enhancements as well as create 

an endowment for future investments in facilities 

and technology. 

General operating funds: 

Ongoing support for a 

world-class education 


Annual impact: $2 million a year for the 

operating budget 


Campaign Thunderbird also seeks $10 million 

in funds for operational support to its Annual 

Fund. This would generate $2 million a 

year for the operational budget, which allows 

the school to maintain the high level of service 

and quality students expect of an institution 

with Thunderbird’s reputation. 

Unrestricted contributions for the operating 

budget allow the school to apply the donations 

where they are most needed. Annual Fund 

support is a vital source of assistance for scholarships, 

technology, curriculum development, 

faculty research, alumni programs and services. 

In essence, support for the Annual Fund 

helps maintain daily critical operations to ensure 

programs are maintained at a level befitting 

the No. 1-ranked school for global management. 

A pledge for a better world 

In the coming months, alumni around the 

world will be sent additional information 

about Campaign Thunderbird and asked to 

donate. Although Thunderbird doesn’t have a 

history of seeking endowment gifts, and many 

of its alumni come from cultures unfamiliar 

with philanthropy, Cabrera and Neice are confident 

the campaign will provide the school 

with the financial backing it needs to advance 

the Thunderbird mission to educate global 

leaders who create sustainable prosperity 

worldwide. 

“When someone donates to Thunderbird, 

they help the school develop leaders who ultimately 

generate economic value, grow communities 

and change lives,” Cabrera says. “It’s 

more than a donation to Thunderbird. It’s a 

donation to humanity by helping us create 

global citizens who make the world a safer and 

more prosperous place for us all by building 

bridges of business and commerce between 

cultures.”

The children of Chuck Mannel—Charlie and Laura—have established a scholarship 

fund to honor their parents. In this photo from 1987, Chuck, who was at 

Thunderbird for 14 years, shares a laugh with then-student Milly Ter Heege ’87. 

“Education was one 

of the driving forces 

in his life,” says 

Charlie Mannel, 

an AG Edwards & 

Sons associate vice 

president in Sun City, 

Ariz. “He felt it was 

important for people 

to keep growing. It 

was his dying wish to 

create a scholarship

mother’s name.” 

Laura Mannel- 

Harsh said the 

scholarship bearing 

her father’s name is 

fitting for a man who 

retired as external 

affairs vice president 

in 1990 but tirelessly 

continued to promote 

Thunderbird during 

his various travels 

abroad. 

“He was a one-man 

carnival act, and the 

snake oil he sold was 

Thunderbird,” says 

Mannel-Harsh, a 

United Airlines flight 

attendant based in 

Las Vegas. “Considering 

the wholehearted 

contribution our 

father made to 

Thunderbird, Charlie 

and I thought it was 

important to follow 

through with his 

wishes.” 

They hope 

everyone in their 

father’s extended 

family will contribute 

to the scholarship.

Artemis 

garners 

financial 

support 

HER WORDS 

brim with 

steadfast 

determination despite 

the odds. 

“It is up to us 

women to create 

peace for our 

children," says 

Rangina Hamidi, a 

graduate of Thunderbird’s 

Project Artemis 

and now a business 

owner in Afghanistan. 

"Our skill is embroidery, 

and love and 

patience is what we 

can give our families 

and our country. We 

work to help rebuild 

our nation." 

Rangina, who owns 

Kandahar Treasure, 

is one of 30 Afghani 

women who have 

taken business 

lessons learned 

through Project 

Artemis and applied 

them thousands of 

miles away in a land 

torn by years of war 

and Taliban rule. 

She is considered a 

success story by her 

Artemis peers, by her 

fellow businesses, by 

her American mentor 

and, in December, by 

CNN, which named 

her one of 17 finalists 

among 7,000 entries 

for its annual CNN 

Heroes award. 

"Just being a 

woman in business in 

Afghanistan is a huge 

accomplishment," 

says Kellie Kreiser 

’04, the director of 

Thunderbird for Good. 

"Being a successful 


woman is amazing." 

On Nov. 8, Thunderbird 

organized two 

events—on each side 

of the world—that 

furthered the effort to 

bring business 

training to Afghan 

women. In Phoenix, 

Thunderbird hosted a 

fund-raising breakfast 

with the Afghanistan 

Ambassador to the 

United States, His 

Excellency Said Tayeb 

Jawad, that drew 35 

successful women 

from the Phoenix 

area. The event, 

which was chaired by 

community leader 

and philanthropist 

Randy Kendrick, 

raised $170,000, 

more than half the 

amount needed to 

fund the next Artemis 

class. On the same 

day, 17 original 

Artemis fellows 

gathered in Kabul, 

Afghanistan, and 

shared the challenges 

and successes they’ve 

experienced since 

returning to 

Afghanistan. 

Kreiser says plans 

for Artemis include 

linking with other 

programs to expand 

training for Afghani 

women in their own 

country and spreading 

the program to 

other developing 

countries. 

"We're not just 

looking at bringing 

women to Thunderbird 

for a few weeks, 

but using the core 

idea to explore ways 

that we can help 

women wherever they 

are," she says. "We 

feel that's how we can 

really try to make a 

difference." 


The Afghanistan Ambassador to the United States, His Excellency Said Tayeb Jawad, spoke to more than 35 of 

metropolitan Phoenix's most successful women in November at a fundraising breakfast for Project Artemis.

THE COMPEtition 

was 

devised in a 

boardroom and 

detailed over a few 

drinks in a campus 

pub. And when the 

trash talking was 

over, the battle lines 

for this international 

clash were formed. It 

was to be the brash

squaring off against

challengers from the 

Far East. Texas vs. 

Hong Kong. 

And may the best 

team raise the most 

dollars for scholarships 

at Thunderbird. 

“Thunderbird 

graduates are 

competitive people,” 

says Bart Kohnhorst 

’83, a Samsung 

executive living in 

Plano, who is leading 

the charge for the five 

Texas chapters. “We 

figured we could turn 

that feeling into 

money for the school 

and have some fun at 

the same time.” 

So far, the Texas 

effort claims to have 

raised roughly 

$76,000, while the

Assistance for Asian 

Students (TAFAS) 

group have already 

awarded two scholarships 

worth $135,000 

and have another 

$70,000 committed 

for a third one. 

“Our motto: Don’t 

Mess with TAFAS,” 

says Kevin Rohrer 

’82, an international 

marketing consultant 

carrying the banner 

for Hong Kong, in an 

obvious twist on the 

Texas credo. 

As is the case in 

this no-holds-barred 

competition, each 

side is claiming 

victory. A third-party 

mediator may need to

settle the dispute. 

At stake are the 

spoils of victory. If 

Texas wins, Rohrer 

must wear a 10gallon 

hat, cowboy 

boots and perhaps 

brandish a water 

pistol. Waiting for 

Kohnhorst is a dress 

slit up to the waist. 

All kidding aside, 

Rohrer believes the 

competition could be 

adopted by other 

chapters with already 

established rivalries 

like New York vs. 

Boston or Los 

Angeles against San 

Francisco. 

“In a competition 

to raise money for 

scholarships, there 

are no losers,” he 

says.

David Lincoln is a distinctive figure at Thunderbird's December graduation 

ceremonies, when he dons red regalia complete with a Santa hat. Lincoln has been 

a fixture of graduation since 1987, when he joined the Board of Trustees. 

prosperity worldwide. 

The Thunderbird 

Oath of Honor, which 

was developed and 

adopted by students, 

gives Lincoln hope 

that the next 

generation of 

business leaders will 

have better sense of 

the importance of 

ethics in leadership. 

“The oath 

essentially says that 

in their professional 

careers, students will 

act in an honorable 

way,” says Lincoln, 

who has sat on 

Thunderbird’s Board 

of Trustees since 

1987. “It’s like the 

Hippocratic Oath for 

medical personnel, 

except this is in 

business and ethics.” 

His father, John C. 

Lincoln, who formed 

Lincoln Electric 

Company in 1895, 

instilled in him the 

importance of ethics 

in business and 

philanthropy, Lincoln 

says. 

“He ran a highly 

ethical company that 

was the model for 

me,” he says. “I think

if you’re taking 

something out of 

society, you should 

give something 

back.” 

Lincoln, who is 

chairman of Lincoln 

Laser, a manufacturer 

of laser scanning 

equipment, and 

president of Vika 

Corporation, a family 

management 

company, stays in 

shape by hiking and 

going to his office five 

days a week. 

Often, he says, 

students approach 

him for advice, and it 

invariably leads to a 

discussion of ethics. 

“I tell students that 

cheating gets you 

ahead for a short 

time, but penalizes 

you in the long run,” 

Lincoln says. “If 

you’re ethical in your 

career, when you die 

your estate will be 

bigger than if you’re 

not ethical.”

Miah Homstad Armour ’95 loved motorcycles, but it wasn’t until she toured Europe 

on her bike following her Thunderbird graduation that she learned how much. 

“It was a great job 

and I loved the 

company,” she says, 

“but I tired of the 

daily 150-mile 

commute to Milwaukee 

and back. I’m 

now energy-efficient.” 

Armour’s love of 

motorcycles was 

solidified in 1994.

Before starting a 

marketing internship 

in Paris at AT&T 

France, Armour and a 

fellow T-bird set out 

for a two-week 

motorcycle ride from 

Geneva to Prague, 

Czech Republic. 

“Riding a motorcycle 

through Europe 

was something I 

couldn’t pass up,” 

she says. 

Armour, who was 

Thunderbird’s 

Chicago Chapter 

alumni president for 

two years and 

remains a monetary 

donor, credits the 

school for instilling in 

her a global mindset. 

“I got so much out 

of Thunderbird, both 

personally and 

professionally, that I 

want to make sure 

that others have that 

same possibility,” 

she says.
