As part of our university's traditional "Student Meetings" program, our Rector Prof. Dr. Mustafa Alican met with students at Bulanık Vocational School.
"University Years, The Turning Point of Your Life"
In his speech, our Rector stated that university years are one of the most valuable periods in an individual's life and that these years should be appreciated.

Examples from His Own Student Years
Sharing his memories of his own student years, Prof. Dr. Alican expressed his passion for books in particular. He said, "Reading gives people a different perspective and provides a balanced perspective on life. I recommend that you make reading a way of life." Advice for Emotional and Social Life
Our Rector stated that students should not only focus on academic success, and emphasized that they should also take care of their social and emotional lives. He conveyed important lessons from his life experiences by saying, “Live your feelings without exaggeration, a person is what they are occupied with. Do not love anyone too much, do not hate anyone too much; see people as they are and value them as they are. Do not rush when making important decisions in your life, be patient.”
