Haaga-Helia organises two graduation ceremonies every year. This time the ceremony was organised for the first time at the renewed Finlandia Hall.

Stronger together – 1 332 new alumni to our community

A total of 1 332 students have graduated in the spring semester, of which 1009 had completed a Bachelor's degree and 323 a Master's degree. Upon graduation, they also joined the Haaga-Helia alumni community with more than 48 000 members.

The ceremony included a speech to the graduates by President Teemu Kokko and a greeting to the graduates from the business life by double alumnus, Kim Qvick.

In his speech, Qvick described how the skills he has acquired at Haaga-Helia have carried him through his journey in both professional and private life. He highlighted that a diploma is not just a piece of paper, but also a testimony of commitment, critical thinking and collaboration skills.
