Dear prospective university students,
You are standing at the threshold of a new journey—one that involves not only choosing a profession but also constructing a personal and professional identity. University life is not merely about acquiring knowledge; it is about questioning, analyzing, transforming, and building your own intellectual world.
University offers a multidimensional environment that supports your academic, social, and personal development. Clubs, events, volunteer activities, and friendships are integral components that will empower you to become not only an individual but also a respected and responsible member of society. Go beyond what is taught in the classroom: read widely, conduct research, and engage with diverse perspectives. Remember, success is not solely measured by grades, but also by your intellectual curiosity and willingness to grow and develop. Be patient, open-minded, and diligent throughout this process. Invest in yourself, as the foundations you lay during these years will shape the strong individuals you will become in the future.
We are just as excited as you are today. It is with great joy and indescribable happiness that we welcome you. By the end of these four years together, you will graduate not only as "Child Development Specialists" but also as individuals who bring hope, love, and light to our children—the future of our society—and play a crucial role in their personality development.
There is a place for all of you under this roof. We are here, and we are waiting for you. May your journey through university be filled with success and fulfillment.
With my best regards,
Prof. Dr. Nefise Semra Erkan
