The Biology programme board – the fairest fairytale of fall

We think it would be nice if we could liven up the website of the programme boards with a picture to show that a programme board is not primarily an “organ” or an “agency”, but people – committed, competent and pleasant professionals who work together to run and develop the study programmes to the best of the students, the department and society.  The program board for biology was first out, and we would like to share this beautiful picture that now adorns the program board page.

We hope the other program boards will soon follow suit!
