On Friday, December 5, our Zagreb campus hosted the 7th Honors Program Colloquium, where students presented their research projects developed under faculty mentorship. The Honors Program, launched in fall 2022, continues to provide outstanding students with opportunities for advanced academic exploration and interdisciplinary inquiry.
Led and organized by Dr. Nina Antičić, Lecturer, and Tamara Lipnjak, Student Life and Well-Being Coordinator, this semester’s colloquium of 14 students featured a diverse range of topics spanning marketing, data structures and algorithms, human resources, psychology, statistics, accounting, writing, interface design, and more:

Students who meet the criteria can apply to join the Honors Program by selecting an Honors option within designated courses taught by RIT Croatia faculty. Working closely with a faculty mentor, students explore a topic of interest in greater depth, often resulting in studies, papers, or projects that go beyond regular coursework.
The mentors for this semester include:
