<Agenda>
Thursday: Arrival day & Pub Night
Raise a glass in a #ToastToTbird as we kick off the weekend festivities with a time-honored Pub Night hosted by the Office of Alumni Engagement and Phoenix alumni chapter.

Friday: Live like a student again: Back to the classroom & Regional Night! 
Lifelong learning sessions: Dean Charla Griffy-Brown will welcome attendees and lead a panel of distinguished alumni through a journey of their T-bird experience. Then brush up your skills and delve into topics that likely didn’t even exist when you were a T-bird. Learning sessions led by Thunderbird faculty and our Executive Education team will include some of our most popular courses, “A New Era of Space to Benefit Planet Earth”, “AI, Agility and the Future of Work” among others.  

Regional Night: Join students, faculty and staff in this Thunderbird tradition celebrating the unique global diversity of Thunderbird. The evening will include student and professional live music and performances, as well as drinks and light bites from local food trucks.  

Saturday: Class decades celebration, T-bird Trekkers hike, group meet-ups, & Founders’ Day celebration
Decades luncheon: Calling all T-birds celebrating milestone anniversary years. The Office of Alumni Engagement invites you to join us for a special luncheon for alumni celebrating 10, 20 30, 40+ year graduation milestones. Join us and catch up with your former classmates while learning about Thunderbird traditions and history during these important years. We can’t promise your old photos won’t be revealed, but we will promise that any stories you share will follow the rules of “What happens at Thunderbird stays at Thunderbird!”. Don’t miss this fun way to catch up with friends and share your T-bird story.  

Self-organized class and group meetups: Looking to connect with classmates even if your class isn’t celebrating a milestone year, connect with T-birds from a specific region or industry. Take a hike with the T-bird Trekkers or watch the rugby alumni match. Learn more about ways to organize and attend a group meetup during the reunion here. If you would like assistance posting a meetup you are organizing email us at tbirdalumni@thunderbird.asuep.org.

Founders’ Day celebration: As we close out another successful reunion weekend, we invite alumni to join us for a celebration and reception honoring Thunderbird’s unique history and alumni. During the event we will recognize the 20th Anniversary of the Thunderbird for Good Program which has trained more than 250,000 participants over the years. Join us for global music, food and fun as we celebrate our incredible history and amazing alumni.  

Sunday: Farewell brunch
Join us one last time in the Pub for a final #ToastToTbird. Snap some last minute pictures, make plans to stay connected and say “see you soon” to friends new and old before heading home.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the Alumni Reunion!
