25 New Alumni

We closed a very successful academic year in June, celebrating 25 new alumni of the Romani Studies Program. Ten participants received the RGPP certificate of completion, and 14 students graduated with an MA degree—six of whom are RGPP alumni. 10 of the graduating MA students were also students of the Advanced Certificate in Romani Studies program. The MA theses will soon be available in the CEU library's digital collection.

We  congratulate them all on their achievements!
