“
Thunderbird’s special focus on international management with a diversified student population attracted me to it. I believe that in this era of globalization, it is imperative to have a “global mindset” to respond to businesses expanding across the globe. I wanted a college that could help me understand the distinct complexities of emerging markets on one hand and the dynamics of the mature markets on the other. Thunderbird had it all. I attended a preview weekend at Thunderbird and I knew that I belonged here!” ~ Yamini Sharma ’15, India
