The faculty, associates, staff and students of the School of European Economic Studies are deeply mourning the passing into eternity of the distinguished Professor Ion Smedescu, Rector and Founder of the Romanian American University, ground-breaking academic in Romanian private education after 1990 and a pioneer of economic education in the field of European integration.

Professor Ion Smedescu, a highly complex personality receiving national and international recognition, was a good manager, a visionary who never shied away from the unbeaten path and who took a chance for a better future, a teacher who always trove to train youth to tackle not only their jobs but life as well, a HUMAN BEING who will never be forgotten by those who knew him.


May God rest his soul!
