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.

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.
Perhaps the greatest impact you have had
on humanity has come from the sharing of

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
12 spring 2008

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

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.

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-

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 &

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

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
Thunderbird
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
Goal: $25 million
Annual impact: $1 million a year
Growth: 40 percent
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.

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,

generated by the endowment would increase
Thunderbird’s annual research budget by 40

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
Goal: $20 million
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
Goal: $10 million
Annual impact: $2 million a year for the
operating budget
Growth: 33 percent
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.”

in March 1976,
excited about the

and the prospect of
making a difference
at a tiny graduate

For 14 years, Chuck
Mannel helped build
a place where
recruiters eagerly
snatched up wellschooled
graduates,
and corporate and

plunked down
considerable dollars
in support. He would

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

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
alumni giving by class
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."

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

spoils of victory. If
Texas wins, Rohrer
must wear a 10gallon

brandish a water
pistol. Waiting for

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.
