Senior Project presentations at the Dubrovnik campus

Hospitality and Tourism Management senior year students presented their crown projects

Last week ended on a high note for senior year students of the Hospitality and Tourism Management program at our Dubrovnik campus, as they presented their Senior Projects on Friday and Saturday, April 28-29. The projects were presented in front of a full audience consisting of faculty members who served as mentors for the projects, as well as supportive colleagues and family members.

Senior Project is a semester long course, taught by RIT Croatia’s instructor Rebecca Charry. Students choose a topic of their interest, they learn how to do in-depth research and write a well rounded and detailed project with literature review, research outcomes and conclusions. After all projects were presented, Rebecca Charry commented “I am so proud and grateful for the opportunity to teach such intelligent and hardworking group of students, and to learn from them as well”.
