Why the leaf?
Along with representing our dedication to individual growth, and environmental concern, the birch leaf signifies Finlandia's Finnish heritage. Not only is the Birch tree a common sight in both Finland and the Keweenaw, It has been used to create tools and art that have helped to define both cultures.

Finlandia was founded in 1896 as Suomi College by Finnish immigrants, but its heritage extends hundreds of years before that. The Finns developed an attitude of "sisu" or persistence and determination during the early years of their country's formation. They brought sisu with them to help them thrive in a new land. It was with this steadfast attitude that Finlandia University was established.
