Mer information
Dear students,
there has been lack of information about 'Making sense of
Leadership'- course module and enrollment possibilities to it.
That is why I will start a new Personal Leadership course on
Friday 9th of October to give students in all programs the
possibility to join the extended studies module.
This means that there will be 2 Personal Leadership courses
going on parallelly which are independed to each others. The
content of the courses is identical and the both courses
continue together with Maria Forss and Change leadership,
which is the second course of the module.
This addition does not affect you students who have started
your course 21st of September. You continue your course
according to the program in Personal leadership course, start
21st of September file.
I want to wish all students who will start their course warmly
welcome to Personal Leadership course and hope to see you in
course introduction on Friday 9th of October at 8.30 in B518!
Have a nice weekend,
Mervi
