The faculty, staff and students of the Management-Marketing School are grieved to announce you that Professor ION SMEDESCU has passed into eternity. He was above all an accomplished teacher, a role model of commitment, professionalism and humanity, as well as the Founding Rector of the Romanian American University.
Throughout all the 17 years of tireless leadership at the head of this university, Rector Ion Smedescu has focused on promoting American educational values against the background of rich Romanian education traditions, receiving world recognition.

And yet, above all else, the MAN that was ION SMEDESCU has always been remarkable in his deep, honest and permanent openness, understanding and love towards his students, with whom he shared not only the secrets of Marketing but those of Life itself, teaching them to respect People, Value and Beauty.

Our condolences and deepest sympathy to the grieving family.


May God rest his soul!
