According to the 2018 Alumni Engagement survey, an alumni directory was the number one project Finlandia/Suomi alumni wanted to see the Finlandia Alumni Board complete this year. We are happy to announce that it is finally here.
The directory is a Google Map that anyone can access. Alumni voluntarily submit their information to be included on the map; information will not be added without consent. With this directory comes the opportunity to connect with former classmates, current students and other alumni in your area. Fill out the form to get started.

As the Holiday season approaches, consider utilizing AmazonSmile for your holiday shopping. Amazon donates 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to the charitable organization of your choice. Think that's not very much? If every Finlandia/Suomi alumni who receives this email spent $100 using AmazonSmile and named Finlandia as their charity of choice, FinnU would receive $1,000. AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know. Same products, same prices, same service.

Monica Freeman and Gina Geliche found themselves back in the Jutila Center for this spooky episode of Lion Around, Finlandia's student-run podcast.
