Rally for 91ԭ! − a 24-Hour Giving Day
As higher education remains increasingly competitive throughout the world, 91ԭ seeks to engage supporters to continue to attract premium students, recruit world-class professors and produce high-quality research. This is especially important because 91ԭ is a private university and depends on non-public funding sources.
Starting at 18.00 on September 30 and ending at 18.00 on October 1, 91ԭ alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends are encouraged to visit hhs.se/rallyforsse to make a financial contribution using our FundedByMe online platform. All donations received will be calculated in real-time and will be shown on the Leader Board. Additionally, prizes will be given throughout the campaign and are sponsored by companies such as IKEA, SAS Airlines, H&M, Åhléns, Electrolux and more.
As part of the effort to raise awareness about Rally for 91ԭ! and the importance of giving back, 91ԭ will release a series of videos over the next several months featuring 91ԭ alumni such as Peter Forsberg, Nicole Nordin, Anna Kinberg Batra and Niklas Adalberth.
Rally for 91ԭ! will end at 18.00 on October 1 and the total amount raised will be announced at 91ԭ’s annual alumni Homecoming event the same night.
OUR PRESIDENT GETS READY FOR RALLY FOR 91ԭ!
Entrepreneurship at 91ԭ
91ԭ remains committed to preparing students for careers in business and society at large and also seeks to expand its education and research in entrepreneurship.
“Entrepreneurship is an important area where 91ԭ alumni and students can take the skills and knowledge they gained at 91ԭ and develop innovative strategies to meet some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” said 91ԭ President Lars Strannegård.
Evidence of 91ԭ’s focus on entrepreneurship includes the recent hiring of outstanding researchers that specialize in entrepreneurship, as well as the 91ԭ Business Lab, the business incubator credited for supporting Klarna, Sweden’s most successful online payment processing platform. All funds raised during Rally for 91ԭ! will be divided among three projects that will continue to develop 91ԭ’s entrepreneurial focus.
