Our General Coordinator, Prof. Dr. Ferit Küçükay, stated in his speech that the auditorium is more than just a physical structure; it is an important forum where academic dialogues, interdisciplinary interactions, and exchanges of ideas will take place. Our General Coordinator said that many anecdotes and unforgettable moments will emerge during this process, impacting and connecting both faculty members and students for a long time.
