On Friday 27.10.2023, the Faculty of Sport and Heath Sciences will celebrate its Alumni Day. More than 400 participants have already registered for the Alumni Day. The day is an excellent opportunity to meet old and new acquaintances, reminisce about the past and find out about the latest news on education and research in the Faculty. The programme of the Alumni Day is held in Finnish.
Sports Gala on 27.10.
To mark the centenary, the legendary Sports Gala, first held in the 1970s, will be brought back to life. As in previous years, the 2023 Sport Gala will feature spectacular sport and dance performances by past and present students of the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, as well as visitors.
There will be gymnastic dance, acrobatics, afro, body rhythms and a rap performance, which the audience will be able to participate in if they wish. A guest performance will be the delightful Chorus Line, performed by the Jyväskylä Dance School's musical dance group, which first performed its own version at Liikuntailta back in the 1980s. All ticket proceeds will be donated to Liikunnan Riemu and thus support the sports and physical activity of Jyväskylä's university students.
