It’s the fall semester, and that means it’s time for Club Day at the Thunderbird School of Global Management!
This year, Club Day will take place both in person and online over the course of two days. On Wednesday, August 25th, students can meet club leaders in person from 1:45 to 2:30 p.m. in the kitchen at the Arizona Center. On Thursday, Club Day will take place via Zoom from 4 to 5 p.m.
There are a lot of exciting opportunities to get involved at Thunderbird, and Das Tor wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some of the clubs at Thunderbird that will be participating in Club Day.
