On March 5th and 7th, RIT Croatia honored 66 students from
the Dubrovnik campus and 100 students from the Zagreb campus for achieving
academic excellence. This year, the RIT Croatia students from the Dubrovnik
campus celebrated at Lalezar Restaurant in Hotel Libertas Rixos and Zagreb
students enjoyed their night at Restaurant Lido!
The dean’s list celebration at RIT Croatia began in 1998 and
since then, there has been over 70 Dean’s list celebrations in the past 22
years! Earlier on, these dinners were celebrated at the home of faculty members
and as enrollment grew so was the need to find a bigger space to hold this
exciting celebration of striving students.
"I find the events to be very inspirational, and it is great
to see the students mingling and celebrating their academic accomplishments
with the faculty and each other. I always enjoy hearing students say that they
are really applying themselves in a given term as they wish to 'be on my list'.
- Don Hudspeth, Dean of RIT Croatia
These events encourage students to push harder in achieving
academic success. For their hard work and perseverance, they should be rewarded
for the time and efforts that they're invested in pursuing their undergraduate
degree. This also gives students, faculty and staff members the opportunity to
spend time outside of the classroom and get to know each other better.
