International business students celebrate ending of fall semester with pizza, playful student performances and Santa Claus

On December 14 the students of international business gathered to spend an afternoon together. The event was one of the highlights of fall semester 2022 ending soon after.  

The occasion was an informal gathering with a very special guest wearing red. According to the Finnish tradition, the students welcoming Santa were facing the challenge of performing for the VIP guest. As a majority of students were meeting Santa for the first time, they were given a short period of time to prepare a performance of choice. As a result, the truly international crowd was lucky to enjoy dancing, singing and a limbo activity for Santa prepared by student teams representing all corners of the globe.  

Thanks to all the participants, we were able to get into the merry spirit of the season and end the semester in a happy, delighted mood.
