The coming of spring – a Lund tradition that will carry on, plus a fun parking lot concert!
The coronavirus is causing the cancellation of many events, but nothing can stop the Lund University Male Voice Choir (Lunds Studentsångare) from keeping to tradition! This year, there will be fewer singers and instead of singing from the steps of the main University building, they will be singing from the AF building's rooftop. Tune in internationally on SVT Play (available until 31 May) or if you are in Sweden, you can see the performance on SVT1 at 18:15 on 1 May.

The Lund University Brass Band also brings us an innovative performance from a parking lot (in support of “Radiohjälpen”). Here is the “Drive-in – Land of hope and glory” on YouTube.

The Alumni Office wishes you a Happy "Siste april" next week and we hope you stay safe and healthy!

Send a message of support to graduating students!
Imagine graduating this spring, into a very different world than even three months ago. Those graduating now (and becoming alumni) can use a little extra encouragement in order to stay positive about their future as they leave student life and enter the workforce. We are looking for Lund University alumni to help us create messages of support. Send your message via email to info@alumni.lu.se (great if you include a selfie) and we will make sure to pass it on. We may also include your message on our social media channels. Thank you!
