School of Business – Building the future
Kauppis 110 years

Our School - Our Future
Aalto University School of Business was established on January 16th 1911, and has thereby educated business students for the benefit of our society for already 110 years. Although both the name and the location of the School have changed a couple of times during the years, our goal to offer high-quality education and research for a better society has remained the same.
During the School’s 110th anniversary year, we are launching a fundraising campaign. 'The School plans to grow considerably in the 2020s to meet our society’s need to increase the share of higher education graduates' says Timo Korkeamäki, the Dean of the School of Business. With the help of the campaign, the School intends to meet the goals without sacrificing the quality of our research and education.
All individuals who have donated a minimum of 850 euros to the School of Business during its anniversary year of 2021, will be invited to a donor appreciation event, which will be held on Saturday April 2, 2022, in the former main building of the School of Business in Töölö. Please note that due to the current corona situation, we had to postpone our event to this later date instead of the one previously announced (January 15, 2022). In the event, we will celebrate the 110-year-old School of Business - its history and its future - together with the donors. If you wish, you can pay the sum in instalments during 2021.
Join us in supporting our School, its students and their future success!
