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.

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.
