For years, Glenn Edens was a beloved faculty member at Thunderbird. Not only was he a pioneering mind who brought Silicon Valley ingenuity to life, but he was also an executive whose wisdom and insight enriched our classrooms and touched the lives of countless students.
His legacy within technology and leadership is remarkable, However, it was his kindness, humor, and grace that truly defined him. He had a rare gift for viewing the world through a lens of curiosity and possibility, and he encouraged all of us to do the same.
Glenn will be remembered as a cherished mentor, a respected colleague, and a treasured friend. His laughter and warmth, paired with his boundless patience, taught us invaluable lessons—not only about the world of innovation and business but also about life itself. Glenn taught us how to see the world differently; how to see his world.
As we mourn this sudden loss and hold his family in our thoughts, we invite you to join us in honoring Glenn’s memory and the incredible impact he made at Thunderbird by donating to student scholarships in his honor. Glenn’s family feels that he would have been delighted to know that scholarship support was being given in his memory.
The indelible mark Glenn made at Thunderbird during his time as a mentor, teacher, and friend will forever be etched onto the lives of those who knew him and those who will benefit from the support given to honor his life.
