Diana Axelsson Olsson
Faculty Coordinator/Deputy Administrative director
Faculty Office of Business and Economics
School of Business and Economics
I have a dual role as an Faculty Coordinator and Deputy Administrative Director. My responsibilities include:
- Managing personnel for the administration’s financial and faculty support.
- Providing leadership support.
- Engaging in quality work, including accreditation processes.
- Serving as the system administrator for Academ.
- Coordinating research activities.
I have been employed at Linnaeus University since 2004 and earned my doctorate in microbiology in 2009.
We are accredited
The School of Business and Economics at Linnaeus University is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, AACSB. Only 6 percent of the world’s leading business schools achieve this accreditation, making us one of a few schools that are trailblasers in teaching, research, and societal impact.
