At the annual student awards ceremony of the Croatian Public Relations Association (HUOJ) – "Young Hope" – held in early November in Zagreb, VERN's students Valentina Zajec and Simon Čehić won awards for the best seminar and final papers.
Valentina Zajec was awarded for her seminar paper "Organization of a press conference for the Living Wall party", which she wrote under the guidance of mentor Nikolina Borčić . The award was presented to her by Zdeslav Milas , a member of the expert jury for evaluating student projects.
The "Mlada nada" award for the final paper went to Simon Čehić who, with the help of his mentor Marijana Togonal, wrote the paper "Analysis of the strategy of a selected political organization in attracting voters in the 2015 parliamentary elections". The award was presented to him by Stana Odak Krasić, a member of the expert jury for evaluating student projects and VERN's lecturer.
The aim of the "Young Hope" award, presented by the Croatian Public Relations Association, is to promote excellence among students and motivate them to acquire new knowledge and skills in the field of public relations. The award is a recognition by the professional association for the demonstrated knowledge, excellence and commitment of students taking courses or studies in the field of public relations.
We are pleased that the umbrella PR association in Croatia has recognized the excellence of our students again this year!
