The management at Aarhus BSS

In autumn 2021, five positions in the faculty management team at Aarhus BSS have been advertised – three heads of department and two vice-deans. You will find both familiar faces and a single new one among the appointed candidates, who take up office on 1 December and 1 January respectively.

This summer, Aarhus BSS received DKK 3.83 million extra for the pool of earmarked funding to revitalise student life following COVID-19. Directors of studies, student associations and classes may still submit applications. Here are four activities which have received earmarked funding – and an overview of the future of the pool.

Aarhus BSS has appointed two new strategic project managers for coordinating projects within two of the school’s cross-departmental focus areas. Camilla Kølsen Petersen will head the project Digital Competencies and Charlotte Christiansen the project Retention and Internationalisation. The projects are to support the school’s goal to educate highly skilled graduates who perform well on the job market.

The holiday is just around the corner. When staff and students at Aarhus BSS return, we can look forward to working as we did before the pandemic – and yet. The dean talks about what the reopening and our COVID-19 experiences will mean for our campus university after the summer holiday.

The joy of reunion, a longing, but also a feeling of academic and social insecurity. The sentiment varies among the many students returning to campus. A new initiative is to revitalise student life and support the departments at Aarhus BSS in improving student well-being.
