If anyone knows of anyone who graduated Thunderbird in 1997 with the first name of Robert, please let me know. A class ring was turned in and I would like to try to get it back to its owner.

We are in need of mentors from all different types of career fields. Thunderbird is going to a new mentor platform called MentorPRO. The cadets are no longer required to have a mentor in the residential phase, however we need volunteer mentors for the post residential phase. Requirements for mentors is to simply reply to a student who has questions about the career field you are in. There is no face to face or time requirements. This is on your own time. If you would like more information about the MentorPRO platform and where to sign up, you can go to our website at https://thunderbird.org/mentors/
You would fill out an interest survey and it will go directly to me. Once I get that I can send you an invite code to join our Thunderbird MentorPRO group. You can always contact me as well for more information at [email protected]. Thank you for all your support for these cadets.
