Anne-Dorthe knows the most about Aarhus BSS
Anne-Dorte Bruun Jensen, associate professor at the Department of Law, is the lucky winner of the great prize offered in the Aarhus BSS quiz in the December issue of Internal News.
She got every question right, and as as the newly-crowned quiz winner she fully deserves to upgrade her desk decor with the popular Aarhus BSS Hoptimist.
Anne and Thomas most common first names
The quiz was not exactly easy. Among other things, you had to know that Anne and Thomas are the two most common first names among the school’s employees, that the average age of the school’s employees is 41, and that no less than 2,000 cheerful guests showed up in August when the school held its traditional summer festival.
16 people got all the questions right. The winner was found among these by drawing lots.
Many congratulations to Anne-Dorte!
