The students are finally back

The international students were welcomed on Friday afternoon with a special "Grill and greens."

Burgers ready to be served
The burgers were a hit with the international students and disappeared quickly.

With the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Steffen Juranek, leading the way, academic and administrative staff served  tasty vegetarian food from the grill to the international students.

Many excited students took their first steps onto the NHH campus, with curious eyes searching for new acquaintances.

One of those ready to start NHH's BEDS program was 19-year-old Ukrainian Aleksander Belei.

'I’ve lived in Norway for three years,' said Belei, who was looking forward to new academic challenges and earning a degree from NHH.
