Monday, 22 April 2024 MEETUP 2024 STRENGTHENS THE ALUMNI UP COMMUNITY

On Thursday, 18 April 2024, the annual alumni meeting of the University of Primorska - Alumni MeetUP took place in the lobby of UP FAMNIT, which this year was marked by the first award ceremony of the UP Alumni Awards and Recognitions.

      

The Alumni Club of the University of Primorska officially brings together UP alumni and is an important meeting point for alumni to connect with each other, provide networking opportunities and encourage further professional and personal development, lifelong learning and further research.

This year's meeting was opened with a performance by the vocal group Kaelestis, which created a pleasant atmosphere. The UP Alumni were given some encouraging words by the UP Rector and the first PhD student of UP FAMNIT, Prof. Dr. Klavdija Kutnar, and the President of the UP Alumni Club, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mirko Prosen. The guest of honour, Dr. Gorazd Sedmak, Associate Prof. of UP FTŠ - Turistica and lead singer of the cult rock band Zmelkoow, gave the attendees extremely valuable advice on finding a balance between work and passion.

A great novelty of this year's MeetUP event was the awarding of the UP Alumni Awards to members of the UP community who have particularly distinguished themselves in their careers and lives. Supporters of our activities were honoured with UP Alumni Awards.

We would like to congratulate Đorđe Mitrović, an alumna of UP FAMNIT, for receiving the "Young UP" award, Đejmi Hadrović, an alumnus of UP FHŠ, for receiving the Alumni UP Award for Excellence, and Vanja Kosmina Novak, an alumna of UP FVZ, for receiving the Alumni UP Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Professional Field. We would also like to congratulate the recipients of the awards for their efforts, diligence and success – Tadej Rogelja, alumnus of UP FTŠ - Turistica, Lovrenc Habe, alumnus of UP PEF and Vasilij Žbogar, alumnus of UP FM. All the winners are the pride of the Alumni UP community and the University as a whole.

The meeting was successfully concluded with socializing and networking among students, alumni, professors, staff and all the other attendees, who made many new contacts, shared a lot of good advice, anecdotes, encouraging words, and left with a smile on their faces, new ideas, hopes and new friendships, while enjoying the banquet and music.
