Our former graduate students, who completed their university life and both entered the business world and continued their undergraduate education with vertical transfer, returned to the campus and shared their experiences with the current students with whom they shared the same desks. This special event was both a source of inspiration for the students and a guide for the future. Zeynep Sarıkaya, one of the graduates, shared her experiences: “The knowledge you gain at university is invaluable, but you can't be fully prepared by focusing only on your studies. Improve yourself by participating in social events, build a solid network by meeting different people and experience the business world through internships. By spending your university years to the fullest, you will progress towards becoming not only a professional but also a well-equipped individual.”
Furkan Balaban, another graduate student, told the students that they should be determined with the following words. “When you want to accomplish something, there is no obstacle in front of you, work hard with patience. Develop yourself artistically, take up hobbies and differentiate yourself. Set achievable goals and achieve them in a tangible way. Don't give up on anything that seems difficult at first, because it is the difficult things that make you succeed and grow. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and be assertive, you can learn a lot by making mistakes. Finally, have confidence in yourself and your efforts, and keep your faith.
