It’s a fact: Alumni outreach is one of the most effective means of recruiting new students to CEU. And it was in that spirit that several CEU alumni, and Legal Studies Professor Tibor Tajti (LEGS ’94, ’01), appeared at the University of Zagreb earlier this month.

Following a lecture to students of the university’s Faculty of Law, on Friday, May 17, Professor Tajti spoke of CEU, and its Legal Studies Department in particular, thus providing attendees with a real sense of the academic caliber and campus life at CEU.
