It was a smiling Øystein Thøgersen who received honorable words from Stig Tenold, video greetings from the students and confetti rain during Happy Birthday.

Rector turns 60 on 27 June and was surprised with a small celebration at the end of the Town Hall meeting.

There was cake and coffee outside AudMax after the Town Hall meeting. There were Mexican inspired music coming from the speakers in Speilsalen and Søtt og salt served tasty tacos from their food truck during this year's summer lunch.

NEW Excellent Teaching PractitionerS

At the last Town Hall meeting before the summer, there were a number of items on the agenda. Magne Supphellen presented Brandinnova and talked about the need to merge and release the potential of market research expertise at the NHH. He gave several exciting examples of their research. Through the SmartSirk project, Brandinnova contributes to developing and testing new circular business models.

After Supphellen, Geir Mikalsen went on stage. He could proudly give the employees a preview of NHH's new film, which will visualize the core values ​​and vision of NHH.

Malin Arve then showed off NHH's new page for Impact cases, before Stig could announce three new excellent teaching practitioners. To great applause, Carsten Bienz, Therese Egeland and Kristin Rygg were presented with a diploma and flowers for the outstanding work they do as lecturers.
