The 2024-2025 Academic General Assembly was held in the Grand Conference Hall with the participation of our academic staff and administrative personnel. The meeting began with a speech by our Rector, Prof. Nihat İnanç. In his speech, he highlighted the importance of institutional belonging and acting with a shared consciousness while addressing the university's core values.
Prof. Nihat İnanç stated, “Our vision will not be left behind; it will continuously progress. We have identified four key areas of focus for our university.
The first: Legislation. Over the course of six months, we have aimed to establish a solid foundation for the operation of our university by working on legislation.
The second: System. Operations in our university will be system based ,not person based. Regardless of who leaves or joins the system established must continue to operate like clockwork.
The third: Institutional memory. Information will not be dependent on individuals. Institutional memory will be created and this accumulated knowledge will be passed on the future generations. The required operations and information will be accessible instantly.
The fourth: Institutional culture. Our university will have its own distinct culture. From the rector to security personnel, and from the academic staff to administrative personnel, everyone's behavior and communication style will be part of this sense of belonging."
