Järvenpää says he is highly motivated to continue developing operations and achieving the university’s strategic goals.
– The university is developing at an incredible pace, and it is truly a privilege to be part of this unique ‘drive’ together with our amazing team. The School of Accounting and Finance has a highly committed, very international and top-level faculty who provide excellent teaching and conduct cutting-edge research. I will do my best to enable them to succeed and shine in their work. Working with and for our students is extremely rewarding, and the inspiring encounters with them keep the mind fresh. I have thought that during the pioneering years of space exploration, those involved probably felt something similar and experienced their work as highly meaningful.
