This week we celebrate Pride in Helsinki 🏳️‍🌈 // Den här veckan firar vi Pride i Helsingfors 🏳️‍🌈

We want all our student, staff, alumni, corporate partners, speakers, guests, and more to feel welcome at Hanken as they are. We aim for all activities at Hanken to be characterised by the Nordic values of equality, openness and integrity, and a commitment to high quality and continuous improvement.

While we celebrate, we highlight that progress is still to be made, not only around the world but also at Hanken. One of our ways to do so is through research. The GODESS institute’s research focus is on critical studies of gender, diversity, equality, and social sustainability – we encourage you to get acquainted with their publications to broaden your own perspective.

Thank you for being you ❤️.

---

Vi vill att alla våra studenter, personal, alumner, företagspartners, talare, gäster och mer ska känna sig välkomna på Hanken som de är. Vi strävar efter att all vår verksamhet präglas av de nordiska värderingarna jämlikhet, öppenhet och integritet samt av hög kvalitet och kontinuerlig förbättring.

Medan vi firar framhäver vi även att framsteg fortfarande behövs, inte bara runt om i världen utan också i Hanken. Ett av våra sätt att bidra är genom forskning. GODESS institutets forskningsfokus ligger på kritiska studier av kön, mångfald, jämlikhet och social hållbarhet - vi uppmuntrar dig att bekanta dig med deras publikationer för att bredda ditt eget perspektiv.

Tack för att du är du ❤️.

Did you know that Hanken and the student union coo

Did you know that Hanken and the student union cooperate on many projects? 🧘🏽‍♂️ Approximately once a month the student union's board, the student association in Vaasa, and important key members of staff sit down together for a Rector's coffee to chat about current affairs. Some of the discussions lead to new long term initiatives (such as the study area Skogen 🏕️), whereas others enable low threshold contact between Hanken and our students.

Besides organizing events for its members, the student union's tasks are, as stated in the Universities Act (558/2009): "The student union liaises with and on behalf of its members and promotes their societal, social and intellectual aspirations and those relating to studies and the status of students in society. The student union also participates in the implementation of the educational mission of the university, referred to in section 2, by preparing students for an active, informed and critical citizenship."

To follow this mission and spread the word, Daniel, the President of the Student Union's Executive Board and Nicolina, the President of the Student Council, grabbed our very own Rector Karen and went out to vote in the municipal elections. Check out their channel and SSHV’s for tips on when and how to vote in your respective city: @shsmoments & @sshvrf ✨

Mentorship is listening carefully and sharing experience // Att vara mentor innebär att lyssna noga och dela med sig

This 2020-2021 Hanken Vaasa mentor-mentee relationship is – if not a match made in heaven – then clearly one that is full of respect, warmth and learning. Mikael Still and Silas Magana hit it off from day one last September.

"Mikael allows me to open up, doesn’t brag about his successes and tells me frankly about his failures. He might say: “This I have never heard before, interesting, tell me more!” Then I tell him, feel valued and maybe even like I can teach him something. And I realize that we all have something to learn from each other. This gives me a feeling I can’t even explain – it’s like a Bruce Lee moment!" mentee Silas highlights.

Read the full article on Hanken's web in English or Swedish!

Hanken masters' (or close to, or a recent graduate) students, note that the deadline to apply for a mentor is on the 15th of May at hanken.fi/mentorship (hanken.fi/mentorskap).

Millennials and women make responsible investments

Millennials and women make responsible investments // Generation Y och kvinnor gör ansvarsfulla investeringar

On 11 May 2021, Hanken's research group presented the results of a survey carried out with Nordnet to map the responsibility of private investors in Finland 🍃.

"Sustainable investors seek good returns on their capital, but they also seek to include sustainability aspects in their investing activities by allocating their investments to investees that promote sustainability." Hanna Silvola, the study's leading researcher explains.

The results show that those who invest most responsibly are Millennials (<40 years), women, city dwellers, highly educated and Swedish speaking Finns. Those who, on the other hand, do not invest responsibly are older and investors with large portfolios. Read more about the investment behaviour of different interest groups in the most recent article on hanken.fi.

Despite the exceptional circumstances, the Havis A

Despite the exceptional circumstances, the Havis Amanda statue in the centre of Helsinki still gets its student cap to Walpurgis night. This year it is @shsmoments 💙 that has the honour to do so. Rector Karen Spens and representatives from Hanken's student union provided Havis Amanda with both a cap and a face mask in a ceremony that was recorded for YLE 20.4.2021.

In Helsinki, Walpurgis night is celebrated remotely again due to the corona situation. Havis Amanda thus got her cap already in advance, and will be protected by a fence to avoid crowds around the statue during the weekend. The recording of the event can be seen at Yle Areena on Walpurgis Night at 17:45.

Giving Havis Amanda a student cap on Walpurgis Night is a student tradition dating back to the early 20th century. At first it was illegal, but from 1951 a public permit has been issued to provide the statue with a student cap. Originally, the ceremony took place at midnight and quickly became a popular event. Due to the late hour, however, there was also some disorder, so from 1978, the time was changed to 18.00.

Professor Kaj Storbacka is appointed Dean of Execu

Professor Kaj Storbacka is appointed Dean of Executive Education and Corporate Relations at Hanken School of Economics. In his task Storbacka will be responsible for corporate relations and fundraising.

– One of my most important tasks will be to ensure Hanken remains relevant and important for businesses. The government model for funding universities is not optimal from this point of view as it does not encourage co-operation with companies. Therefore, it is not enough to fulfil the requirements that the Ministry of Education and Culture defines. I want us to work harder and make sure Hanken participates in developing solutions to the increasingly complex challenges businesses are facing, Storbacka says.

The Board of Hanken appointed Storbacka at its meeting on Tuesday. At the same meeting professor Maria Holmlund-Rytkönen was appointed Dean of Programmes and Quality Assurance. Professor David B. Grant’s appointment as Dean of Research and Societal Impact was extended. In addition to these three Deans, professor Sören Kock continues as Dean of Education and Rector’s Representative in Vaasa.

Hans Dalborg Award to Hanken Researcher Hanna Silv

Hans Dalborg Award to Hanken Researcher Hanna Silvola

Hanna Silvola, Associate Professor of Accounting at Hanken School of Economics, receives the Hans Dalborg Award 2021 as the first researcher in Finland. The prize, 210 000 SEK, is awarded for excellence in research in financial economics. It is awarded by the Swedish House of Finance.

Silvola’s research interests are in sustainable investing. She is very grateful for the recognition.

“Research on sustainability has traditionally been marginal in the field of financial economics. This is, however, something that is rapidly changing – today there are not enough experts in the field," Silvola says.

Silvola's book Vastuullisuudesta ylituottoa sijoituksiin with Tiina Landau was published in Finnish in 2019, and the international edition Sustainable Investing: Beating the Market with ESG will be published by Palgrave Macmillan in June 2021.

Silvola is an active speaker in media and also an executive educator. She has worked at Hanken since 2018.

“Hanken provides a unique research environment for research on sustainable investing. This is not self-evident in all universities," she highlights.

Hans Dalborg served as Chairman of the Board of Nordea in 2002–2011. The prize that carries his name has been awarded since 2015.

Congratulations Hanna!

En universitetsutbildning i ekonomi kan hjälpa dig på vägen till flera olika uppskattade yrken, i princip inom vilken bransch som helst.

Today we celebrate International Women's Day to draw attention to inequality and the situation of women around the world

“In honor of Women's Day, we note that more and more women are taking their place in the top management of businesses, but especially when it comes to responsibility for large operational business areas, the distribution of women to men is still not balanced. A degree from Hanken is an excellent step in acquiring knowledge and tools for a successful career as a leader, but more steps are needed. ” Jannica Fagerholm, Hanken's Chairman of the Board, highlights.

At Hanken, we are proud of having many strong, knowledgeable women in high ranking positions. At the same time, we bear a great responsibility as we educate the business world's future leaders and specialists. At Hanken, we research and educate about gender equality, among other things, in order to through knowledge contribute to the mission of providing an equal chance for everyone to learn and to lead.

Together we can make (gender) equality a reality in the world.

Experience can be more than just an internship or a job: volunteering is a great opportunity to engage with society, learn new skills, and build your CV. Did you know that at Hanken you can gain 5 credits from volunteering (bachelor's degree students course 9997, master's degree students course 38009)? Here is Darlene's story:

"Having been with 180 Degrees Consulting Helsinki, I realized that what I have got from my volunteer experience is not only personal development in terms of professional skills but also social impacts by helping out local NGOs. It is a win-win situation for me as an international student in Finland looking for opportunities to gain experiences from extra curriculum activities, and local NGOs seeking out to tackle their problems.

To be more specific, by working on a consulting project for local NGOs, I could utilize my study at school to help local NGOs overcome their challenges and reach their full potential solving the organizations’ problem. Some of the NGOs 180 Degrees Consulting Helsinki worked with are Finnish Refugee Council, Monaliiku, Fida, Physician for Social Responsibility and so on."

We're in the middle of application season! The app

We're in the middle of application season! The application for our Master's Degree Programme in English is open right now and closes on January the 15th, our PhD application opens in just two weeks (16th December- 3rd February 2021), and spring and applications for the Swedish programmes is just around the corner. So why choose Hanken? Great question, let's give you a few reasons:

❤️ As Hanken is a research-oriented triple crown university-level business school, research-based studies is a given. Our students receive an education that gives them the tools to take on the future's challenges; to think analytically and to communicate effectively for both academic and business purposes.

🧡 Hanken is located in Helsinki and in Vaasa. Both cities have a vibrant business life and are definitely hubs for the Finnish industries' headquarters and factories. The central locations enable Hanken to cooperate with the businesses and different industries, ensuring that our students get offered loads of possibilities to connect with possible future employers.

💛 We are proud of being one of the most international universities in the Nordics, as all our BSc students go on exchange. To achieve this we have built an impressive list of Partner Universities with the world's top universities and business schools.

💚 Our alumni are sought after on the labour market, which is a strong testament to the quality of education we offer. 96 % of our alumni have a job within 6 months of graduation (2018 & 2019 graduates).

💙 We have a unique and fantastic student life. Our very own student union @shsmoments is known as 'Finland's most fun student union' as a reflection of the numerous events organized weekly. The student union also works to make sure that students have a say in in all important decision-making bodies at Hanken, thus placing students’ interests as a central point in all decisions made at the university. #hanken

"Quantum should also be understood as a vision of Hanken; we see ourselves educating future leaders who have a solid understanding of how data-driven insights can help them make better business decisions. And these business decisions are not just for making more profit, they are also for being more sustainable. And that is a very important goal for me, but also especially for Hanken." Othmar notes.

Did you miss last week's event: Panel Discussion:

Did you miss last week's event: Panel Discussion: ”Sustainable strategies in turbulent times”? No worries, you can watch the stream through the most recent news article on hanken.fi 🎬.

Consumers' choices will have a strong impact on the future development in society. It is, however, still too early to say which of the changes in behavior caused by the corona pandemic will persist. This was stated by the panelists in the discussion "Sustainable Strategies in Turbulent Times - Key Factors for Renewal", which was broadcasted online from Hanken on 11 November.

The panellists were Kristina Heinonen, Professor of Service and Relationship Marketing at Hanken School of Economics, Sebastian Nyström, EVP & Chief Transformation Officer at SOK Corporation, Heidi Schauman, Chief Economist at Swedbank, and Fredrik Wildtgrube, Vice President at Finnair Cargo.

Marc Hinnenberg (CEO at Hanken&SSE Executive Education) moderated the discussion. The event was hosted by Camilla Wardi, Head of Corporate Relations and Outreach at Hanken. #hanken

Vaasa Hanken 40 years Political discussions about

Vaasa Hanken 40 years

Political discussions about whether to merge Hanken in Vaasa with Åbo Akademi University or with the University of Vaasa have been ongoing ever since Hanken in Vaasa was established in 1980 . Today Sören Kock, dean and rector’s representative in Vaasa, sees the possibility of Hanken in Vaasa remaining as Hanken in a positive light. “I find it fascinating that a Triple-Crown accredited university manages to operate in two locations,” Kock remarks.

Stepping through the gates of Hanken in Vaasa, one is reminded of its history. The Tiklas property in central Vaasa was until 1960 a textile factory; among other products it manufactured the textiles used in the popular Finnish maternity packages (baby clothes and other products distributed to every Finnish newborn). The industrial interior of the factory has changed over the years, and today the premises can boast the latest that our information society has to offer.

Moments before going live 🗽

Organising live events has become a new norm for us here at Hanken. In the picture, the event ‘What is happening? – the impact of the US presidential elections’ is about to begin. The event is the start of a new series of Hankens Studia Generalia where we will take a closer look at current developments and invite special guests to discuss within their expertise and experiences. #hanken

Leadership is about having visions and about a practice-oriented attitude towards the world. Though ultimately, leadership is about people. It is important to spend time with people from different backgrounds who think differently than you do - you always learn something new from them, said Helsinki Mayor Jan Vapaavuori who spoke for Hanken students today.

The ongoing pandemic is affecting all of our lives

The ongoing pandemic is affecting all of our lives. It is also our collective responsibility to make sure that we protect ourselves and others from the virus. As such, amongst other places, we at Hanken strongly recommend the use of face masks when you visit Hanken’s premises! Though this is only a recommendation, we hope that all of our staff and students take the recommendation seriously.

When taking off your face mask to eat or drink, remember to clean or replace your mask. Also, note that a mask won't last you the whole day. At Hanken's entrances you can find a steamer to clean your mask in between uses. In case you use single use masks, keep a few in a zip-lock bag in your pocket or bag.

Hanken has bought a signature face mask for students and staff. In Helsinki, one face mask per person can be picked up from IB during opening hours.

Thank you for setting an example and protecting others in society.

Hanken has bought purewaste signature face masks for all students and staff. The masks are available for pickup in both Helsinki and Vaasa as of 30.9. In Helsinki the masks can be picked up from @ib_bokhandel and in Vaasa from the student association’s boardroom.

We strongly recommend the usage of face masks during in-class teaching, examinations, service situations, and when keeping a safe distance is not possible. Note that the masks are free but limited to one mask per student, please respect the limit and reuse your mask by following the cleaning instructions attached. Additionally, remember that the instructions for visiting Hanken’s premises are still in place: use your own key, and in case you have symptoms of any form stay safe by staying home. #hanken

Stay unique and authentic! Greetings from Mélani

Stay unique and authentic!

Greetings from Mélanie Oun, who recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Business and Management – International Strategy and Sustainability.

“As an international student from France, I have benefited greatly from Hankens career services.

If I look at my CV, my experience at KPMG thanks to the Hanken International Talent™️ is the most valuable when I apply for jobs in Finland. I believe it is a company I would not be able to reach without this talent management -programme.

Some of the great opportunities I got was both a mentor and a two-year “Digital Academy” -programme within KPMG, which I tried both in office and working remotely. It included a 4-month traineeship in the International Development Advisory Services, where I was working in advisory for the EEP Africa Project (eepafrica.org) and supporting the audit team in various assignments. I had a great time learning new areas and looked into financial reports, M&E analytics, communication, screening of project applications, quality review of various reports. It was a rich experience to get involved with the innovative renewable energy projects in Southern and East Africa.

My advice for those who have international background, coming from abroad you have more arguments to have different experiences that are unique and authentic. Bring out your hobbies and how your lived international experiences can show that you are a good future mentee or colleague to be around.

Have a great year ahead and keep communication open!” - Mélanie
