 Finlandia to resume in-person instruction for Fall 2021 

Throughout the 2020-21 academic year, the university has provided a safe living and learning environment with a blend of multiple course delivery modalities and robust health and safety policies. These policies have followed local, state and federal guidance and regulations that have kept positive cases down and controlled community spread. 

“Finlandia will be both vigilant and hopeful as we complete our spring semester and prepare for fall 2021,” President Philip Johnson said. 

While the university is hopeful that the Finlandia experience students value will once again be theirs to enjoy fully this coming fall,  administrators also stress that the university will continue to follow public health recommendations.  

ALUMNI BOARD SEEKING NEW MEMBERS
The Finlandia Alumni Board (FAB) is accepting nominations for new members. Interested Suomi or Finlandia alumni can self-nominate here. Nominations will be accepted until June 1, 2021.
