On October 23rd, the department hosted a faculty delegation from the University of Bergen who were visiting the UW campus in conjunction with One Ocean Week. Rector Margrethe Haugen along with research scientists and other faculty from Bergen drank coffee and ate apple cake alongside our department's faculty and graduate students. The UW-Bergen Exchange has been a longstanding collaboration between the two universities; since the 1970s over 80 faculty members have participated. It was delightful to have the chance to showcase our Norwegian program and the Scandinavian Studies department during their visit. We look forward to the next time!
