Cake in celebration of NOKUT peer review committee recommendation of candidate of psychology study

Today I had coffee and cake, by invitation, in celebration of the University of Stavanger´s stepwise progression towards establishment of a candidate of psychology study, after a peer-review committee appointed by NOKUT recommended to approve our application. I was thanked by the Dean and by the current Head of department at Department of social studies for my earlier involvement when I was Head of department, which included recruiting several of the psychology scholars currently employed.
