NEW FOUNDERS’ CIRCLE

While celebrating and honoring Thunderbird’s alumni and historic past, our new Global Headquarters embraces the future – a future we imagine through the vision , aspiration, and philanthropic investment of our global community. Just as Lieutenant General Barton Kyle Yount did in 1946, we engaged a small group of leaders to make this next chapter for Thunderbird possible.

Generous alumni and friends came together as a new group of visionaries – our New Founders – and made this future possible. Each made a gift of $1 million in support of the Thunderbird Global Headquarters. The names of our New Founders are prominently displayed in the Global Headquarters’ lobby on the New Founder’s Ring.
