About Us
The Foreign Policy Initiative at Thunderbird engages its members through events, conversations, and resources related to foreign policy, global trade, and international affairs. Our expanding community fosters respectful and fruitful dialogue around various issues related to policy, politics, trade, and international affairs with a wider outlook to analyze how complex geopolitical systems affect businesses. We provide a space for our members to hear from a wide range of experts and stakeholders from public, private, and third-sector organizations including government offices and advocacy groups. The Initiative explores contemporary and historical contexts of global issues and their impact on local and international systems, including technological and cultural development, conflict, administration, social action, and manufacturing. Our invited guest speakers and industry experts from different levels of public, private and government sectors contribute to our community by educating our audience on the various methods and examples of addressing social, political, and economic issues. We encourage further engagement with the political landscape through our partner organizations’ events and resources which provides further benefits to our constituency including educational materials, networking, and opportunities. This organization includes students, alumni, staff, and faculty. We additionally welcome public members to a number of our events to elicit diversity of opinion and experience.
