We expressed our gratitude to individuals and institutions who contributed to our development 🙌.

We also promoted our journal *Paviljon* 📖. Alongside editor-in-chief Goranka Rafaj and deputy editor Ivana Jurković, Neda Adamović from the Petar Preradović Public Library 📚 spoke about the publication.
We showcased why we are an excellent choice for future students 🎓, while kindergarteners participated in the RaSTEM program 🔬, got introduced to STEM, and were awarded medals 🏅 for their dedication.
The University Day celebration continued with a program for high school seniors 👩🎓👨🎓, who not only received information about studying at our university but also had the opportunity to see projects developed by students and their mentors 🛠️. Around 170 high school seniors visited the university today 🏫.
The youngest ones are always the sweetest 🥰. Kids from the Bjelovar Kindergarten 👧👦 participated in the RaSTEM program and got introduced to STEM 🔍. They deservedly received medals 🏅 for their dedication, crafted in the university’s lab 🛠️, inscribed with: *”We arrived at VUB full of questions and passion, little explorers, the future of Bjelovar.”*
Btw, VUB is celebrating adulthood this year 🎂🥳! Proud beyond measure 🚀! Twice a year, we celebrate: the graduation ceremony 🎓 and University Day 🎊, while the other 363 days, we work and develop in silence 🔬💡.
