Ranked #1 in the World
Dear TMCA Members,
Welcome back to our returning students and congratulations on surviving your first month at Thunderbird for our new students! The Thunderbird Management and Consulting Association leadership team is excited to bring you a trimester of fun and professional development.
Community
TMCA is wanting to build a sense of Community this trimester. We are going to provide opportunities to get to know one another, get to know our faculty advisors, and learn about the Consulting field. We hope that you join us in strengthening TMCA within the Thunderbird Community.
Consulting TREK
We are looking forward to visiting Chicago next week and meeting with industry-leading consulting firms including A.T. Kearney, Gallup, LEK Consulting, and Gault & Co. We will be debriefing the association with a TREK Share-out to share our key findings and industry trends.
Clash of the Consultants – November 4
We are excited to produce TMCA’s 3rd Clash of the Consultants on November 4! Dr. Finney has selected an exciting case dealing with emerging markets and we cannot wait to see your recommendations! Based on the success and quality of the CoC this trimester, we are going to pursue producing a case competition with Arizona State University and the University of Arizona as well as attract guest judges for the Spring trimester. We are looking forward to professional, innovative, and creative presentations. Help us show the Thunderbird community what TMCA is all about!
TAP – Thunderbird Association Partnership
The Thunderbird Association Partnership (formerly known as ANC) has now met three times. We are working during the first module to create a structure and a plan that TMA, TMCA, TFA, and Net Impact can function by and the second module will be laying the plans for implementation. We are very happy with the progress and we know that with Administration, CMC, and TSG support, we are going to make lasting changes to the professionalism and the impact of the associations on campus.
Newsletters
You will find that each newsletter has a different theme. This month’s theme will focus on the very expansive area of Management Consulting. We encourage you to check out the links we provided and share with us any that you might find noteworthy. Our next newsletter will focus on Marketing Consulting . We would love to get students involved by writing up their own experiences in that particular field; so, if you would like to be published on the Thunderbird Student Blog, please send an interest e-mail to TMCA.Association@global.t-bird.edu and Karan will follow up with you.
The TMCA Leadership Team has been so impressed by the turn-out and the energy that our membership has been bringing to both our General Meeting and our Lunch & Learn with Professor Finney. Standing room only is always an exciting result when holding an event and we are excited to see this energy continue into the trimester!
As always, we are here for questions, comments, or suggestions. Feel free to reach out any time and let’s make it a great trimester!
Kind regards,
Michelle Toto
TMCA President
