As the year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on its highlights. In their video greeting, the University’s senior leadership share some of the year’s most memorable meetings.

What are the leadership’s favourite festive traditions in the academic and wider communities? The Viikki Teacher Training School pupils’ Christmas concert and the Aleksanterinkatu light decorations are just a few of the things that help them get into the festive spirit.

Season’s greetings to the University community, and thank you for a wonderful year!

Sari, Hanna, Anne, Kai, Jouni and Esa

Instead of sending traditional cards, the senior leadership have donated €3,000 to Unicef’s The World’s Children fundraising campaign.
