Dear students,<br>
<br>
It seems that one year has yet again passed and a new year is
beginning with new challenges. Before I wish you a Merry Christmas,
I would like to take this opportunity to point out a few practical
details.<br>
<br>
<b>Faculty:</b><br>
<br>
As the year is ending we have to say goodbye to a few of our faculty
members. Henrik Lagercrantz and Anne-Marie Touru are both leaving at
the end of the year to pursue new challenges. Some of you have also
noticed that Janne Mäkilä left earlier in the year for his now job
as well. The remaining faculty hopes for all the best to Henrik,
Anne-Marie and Janne.<br>
<br>

LinkedIN Group</b><br>
<br>
Faculty has opened an LinkedIN group so that students, faculty, and
alumni can stay connected. If you want to join the group, visit the
LinkedIN website and search for a group called "University of Turku
Product Development Major students and alumni" or connect to me and
I'll invite you to the group.<br>

Sincerely,<br>
