Alumni Association leadership at RIT Croatia provides continuous service to the college, main campus, and our alumni by facilitating communication and relations between RIT Alumni worldwide. The graduates of RIT Croatia recently elected new leadership to the RIT Croatia Alumni Association. We are proud to announce our new President Angela Madjer Krčelić (BS, Class of 2018) and Vice President Niko Katušić (BS, Class of 2019).

Born and raised in Chicago, USA, Ms. Madjer Krčelić came to Croatia to pursue her education at RIT Croatia. Little did she know then that she would stay in Croatia, start a career in digital marketing and start her own family. She is a Founder at Laval Social Media Marketing Solutions.

"Since graduating, I have enjoyed working with RIT Croatia by being an advocate for studying and living in Croatia to the Croatian Diaspora community. I enjoyed every minute of my undergraduate journey and am proud to be an RIT Croatia alumna. My focus is on providing our alumni with more networking opportunities. I believe that with the right marketing tools and event planning skills, unique networking events can create memorable moments and contacts for us."

Niko is an aspiring professional with a mix of experiences in sales, brand and marketing across diverse industries—hospitality, automotive, and FMCG. Passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship and committed to pursuing sustainable practices in today’s evolving markets. Niko deeply appreciates the strong sense of community and belonging nurtured within the RIT environment, fully embracing the principles of collaboration and inclusivity.

"I am honored and thrilled to accept the role of Vice President at RIT Croatia Alumni Association. As the new Vice President, my vision for the next 3 years is grounded in 3 pillars; Engage, Support, and Contribute. Very excited to lead this journey of excellence with your trust and support. Together, we’ll create opportunities for growth, mentorship, and lifelong learning. Let’s make a lasting impact, and I can’t wait to see where our inspiring community takes us!"

The Alumni Advisory Board was formed in 2021, and comprised of all the former Alumni Presidents, Alumni Vice Presidents, and Alumni, who held SG President positions during their undergraduate studies at RIT Croatia. The role of the Alumni Advisory Board is to serve as the advisory body of the RIT Alumni Community. The Board's primary responsibility is to provide leadership in developing and executing stimulating and engaging alumni programs and activities. 24 board members are the voice of more than 3000 Alumni and they volunteer their time, resources, and talent to RIT Croatia and the Alumni Community.
