On Friday, April 12th, 2024, we celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Bachelor's Programme in International Business (Mikkeli campus) at the School of Business. More than 200 alumni gathered at the Otaniemi campus for a fun evening of celebration, filled with the lively Mikkeli Spirit.
The celebration kicked off with a guided tour of Kauppis' impressive facilities. Then, Dean Timo Korkeamäki, International Business Programme Director Joan Lofgren, and Jonna Söderholm, Head of External Relations at the School of Business, welcomed everyone with greetings. The staff from the Mikkeli campus also shared some nostalgic memories with the happy attendees!
After the heartfelt speeches and warm embraces, the alumni enjoyed a tasty dinner, catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. DJ Michael Hamm spun some records, and everyone danced the night away.
It was a fantastic evening filled with the amazing Mikkeli Spirit. The alumni agreed that their time in Mikkeli had given them a lot, especially lifelong friendships!
