Campus Day 2025: A Hit of Music, Culture, and Community
FLEMINGSBERG – Campus Day 2025 in Flemingsberg was a huge success. The event, which was organized to welcome new students and reunite old ones, offered a versatile palette of activities and impressions. Students from Karolinska Institutet, KTH, Röda Korsets högskola, Stockholms musikpedagogiska institut (SMI), and Södertörns högskola participated in the celebration.
The event, held at the start of the new term, gave students a unique opportunity to meet student unions and other support functions, and take part in fun activities and competitions.
Anna Paulson, a student from SMI, expressed her joy about the diversity on campus:

Entertainment and Networking
This year’s Campus Day offered a powerful experience with students from SMI providing a cavalcade of entertainment. From art-pop and Japanese folk music to spoken word and a classical duet, the stages were filled with impressive talent.
The university presidents from the different institutions were on-site to give valuable tips to the new students. Student unions also play an important role in helping students feel welcome, and the SöderS student union brought their operations to Campus Day to promote a better student life.
“It was great to see so many students from the different universities on Campus Flemingsberg dare to come up and ask questions about our activities, our associations, and about student life at Södertörns högskola!” — SöderS
An Important Platform for the Future
A popular part of the event was the group quiz competition, which was followed by well-deserved burritos from Allé Elva. Between activities, there was plenty of time for students to talk and network with relevant groups on campus.
Helene Komlos Grill, Communications Manager at Röda Korsets Högskola, describes Campus Day as an important platform for collaboration.
“Campus Flemingsberg is a great campus area with about 24,000 students and many exciting study programs and research fields. Campus Day is a happy and fun day where we get to meet students and staff from all the universities on campus,” she says.
The event has not only become a cherished tradition but also an important platform for building networks and community in Flemingsberg. For the organizers, it is important that the event continues to grow and engage more people.
