EMBA Connected to Our Campus

Recently I got a fantastic idea from Beau Wilberding. He suggested that we can bring EMBA, Global MBA, and the participants of executive education program together with our campus events, such as foosball tournament. The Grand Canyon Trip had a half of participants from LG program. That was a great start point!

Last Friday, Korean Club also invited those LG executives to its BBQ event. I talked to some executives. They were nice and friendly. Furthermore, they show high interests in club events and look forward to interacting with students on campus. From regional clubs to professional clubs, these guests are willing to get attached to our activities. We ill certainly invite and encourage them to do so.

During summer, Global MBA also had several on-campus sessions. Beau recommended that we could have a foosball tournament for them and the rest on campus. The only requirement is that you got to find a teammate from other tracks instead of Global MBA. That way would definitely increase and facilitate our interaction. Somehow, they might feel that they are isolated from other programs. This is our responsibility to make them feel home and to show them what T-birds truly are.

From the executive education program, what else can we bring them beside the cultural dinners? Those experienced executives came here to share their knowledge and to learn theories from our faculties. We as T-birds can also play a key role to enhance their Thunderbird stay. So are the EMBA students. The more we interact, the better we learn from each other.

As a student in Thunderbird, I love to see more initiatives from everyone in our community. These actions will simply make this school a better place to study and to memorize after the graduation. Let’s play for another tournament! Come on!
