RIT Croatia recognizes its student helpers!
In order to recognize
its student helpers and thus mark the student employment week, RIT Croatia
organized a pizza get-together for 61 student helpers in both campuses. Aside
from their studies, these students are very active in undertaking activities in
various areas – from tutoring and working in the library, to conducting diverse
communication activities by writing stories or even making videos about RIT
Croatia!
„The biggest interest can be seen for the tutor
and TA positions", says prof. Ana Maria Šimundić who oversees their work. And
if you think that getting a job at our college was easy – well, you need to
prove yourself capable of the position you apply for. „Students can express
their interest for these positions, but in the end, professors recommend
students who have done extremely well in the course previously and who they
believe can help other students master the course material.", adds prof.
Šimundić
These various
employment roles at the college are very beneficial for students because they
are opportunities for leadership development. Prof. Šimundić elaborated
on this: "First of all, students who work for us learn about how the college
functions from another perspective, build meaningful, mentoring relationships
with staff and faculty members and take pride in contributing to our community
in their various roles. I have seen many positive outcomes for
students. It is a unique experience for students to work at the same
place where they are attending college, where they get to know and interact
with students from different year levels (which they otherwise would not have
met). We invest in their growth in these roles and hope that the overall
experience drives them to maximize their college experience.”
The events took place in Dubrovnik (April
11th) and Zagreb (April 12th).
