School of Business Anniversary Class Reunion 21.8.2026

For the first time, we invite to a joint class reunion everyone who started their studies at the School of Business 10, 20, or 30 years ago to celebrate the anniversaries of the start of your studies. This autumn, that means those who began their studies in 1996, 2006, and 2016, either in Töölö or Mikkeli.

Do you still remember the mass lectures in the Nokia Hall or in Domma’s basement? Do you miss the Alakertsi dance floor or Pentti, the chorus of Napsulaulu, and dollar‑green overalls? And do you remember the lunch breaks at Alvari, and how taulukkolaskenta and harkkapaketit or solving case assignments in Mikkeli ultimately made us comrades in the same boat? And now – believe it or not – it’s been years since all that. So it’s time to return to 1996, 2006 and 2016, and come together to reminisce about our freshman days and, above all, to see what the past decade has brought for us fellow business students.

The program will include, among other things, greetings from the Dean and KY, speeches from classes, good food and drinks (not forgetting the traditional drinking songs), and a performance by KYL.

Invitations have been sent to all those who began their studies in 1996, 2006, or 2016 and whose contact details are in Aalto University's alumni register. Registration has closed on 9 August.
