On Hand

The Closing of Finlandia


Listen Later

Last week we got some really hard news about a UP institution. Finlandia University is shutting down operations, after 126 years in operation. Founded as the Suomi College and Theological Seminary, it’s kept Finnish culture alive Up North, in ways that have affected thousands of peoples’ lives over the years. 

GUEST:

Timothy Pinnow, President of Finlandia University
