Essay C. At Thunderbird, we recognize management as a true profession and that education confers not only knowledge and skills, but also a responsibility to use those skills for the betterment of society. Acceptance to Thunderbird therefore signifies the joining of a community with shared values that are captured in our graduation pledge, the "Thunderbird Professional Oath of Honor". After reading the pledge, please respond to either option 1 or 2 below. (Please limit response to 1,500 words.)
Thunderbird Professional Oath of Honor
As a Thunderbird and a global citizen, I promise:
I will strive to act with honesty and integrity;
I will respect the rights and dignity of all people;
I will strive to create sustainable prosperity worldwide;
I will oppose all forms of corruption and exploitation; and
I will take responsibility for my actions.
As I hold true to these principles, it is my hope that I may enjoy an
honorable reputation and peace of conscience.
This pledge I make freely and upon my honor.
Option 1
Both on the job and beyond the workplace, Thunderbirds have long contributed
to making the world a better place - not only for themselves but also for
others. In your opinion, what companies or organizations have shown a strong
commitment to "making the world a better place"? How do their practices
align with your personal views of ethical behavior?
Option 2
What global cause or global issue do you think deserves greater attention?
What steps have various companies and organizations taken to further that
cause and what more do you suggest that they do in the future?
Essay D (Optional)
Is there anything that you think the Admissions Committee should know which
you feel has not been covered? If your credentials and essays represent you
clearly and fairly, do not feel obligated to answer this question. (Please
limit response to 1,500 words.)
Essay E (optional). Required essay only for those interested in being
considered for scholarships
Please explain why you believe that you would be a strong candidate for a
Thunderbird Scholarship. If you know the name of the scholarship for which
you would like to be considered, please include this in your essay. If you
are unsure, Thunderbird will match your profile to scholarship funds that
are available for you. Your answer MUST be under one page in length.
