I would like to thank to my university and all my teachers for the position that I have now.

I started working right after I graduated from high school and I realized that I was not satisfied with my education. So I decided to have a university degree. I was 22 years old and I wanted to do something interactive. I studied Printing and Publication Technologies at Kadir Has University because I was interested in most of the subjects taught there, such as photography, design and public relations. We were the first graduates of our department and now I see that I made a very good thing by choosing Kadir Has University. Now I am in charge of Communications and Public Relations at Turkuaz Media.

Atilla ÇALIŞ (Logistics)

While carrying on my education in the Logistics Program, we welcomed prominent names of the logistics sector in our vocational school within the frame of our Logistics Club’s activities which we established with the support of our school. Thus I was able to prepare myself in the best way I could for the sector by blending the practical knowledge I got from them with my theoretical knowledge. I was a member of  a lot of very important projects on the basis of the sector together with my teachers, each a specialist in its own field, and I have always felt the difference both in my school and business lives undeniably. I commenced my business life in UPS as a sales representative and then I carried on my career in GTT Logistics with the same title. Now I am continuing my career as the Business Development Director in Transvoss Global Projects, which organizes project transports of world brands. Now I feel the support of the knowledge I received during my university education, my teachers who are very precious for me, and the professionals in the logistics sector in many areas and projects. I would like to express my endless gratitude to them. I would also like to tell that I will be very happy to give you my support, which once we needed too, in case you prefer the Logistics Department.

Süleyman YÜZÜAK (REAL ESTATE AND ASSET VALUATION DEPARTMENT)

Hello dear School, where I experienced friendship, love and many different things. Now I’m far away from you in the middle of life. You cannot imagine how much I miss you. Your value was different when I was with you. Now I’m far away and I even value  you  more. Maybe you’ve forgotten me! I’m Süleyman Yüzüak who had already had a business bachelor degree, completed his military service when he came to you. Still you welcomed me with open arms.  Sometimes ‘Brother Süleyman’, one term school chief, finally instructor Süleyman. Now I’m sure you’ve remembered me. What am I doing right now? I completed my higher studies after I graduated. Now I’m far away from you. I work at TÜBİTAK in Ankara as a Job Development specialist. I try to earn your praise. I’d llike to thank to Kadir Has for founding such a great university. It’s impossible to forget dear Erol Üçdal. I thank to all academic and administrative staff  especially Ahmet Yörük for being there for us. As long as you exist this wonderful education institute will continue to contribute to life.  Last but not the least, dear fellow students, I don’t know your opinion of the school right now, but believe me you’ll have a lot to compliment when you graduate. As the saying goes, ‘Instead of hitting the target why wait?’ Don’t bend your heads while talking about the past. You’ll most likely brag about being a Kadir Has graduate.

Gürsel AKTAŞ (FOREIGN TRADE)

With the idea of there is no limit to determination and success , I turned back to university after 6 years of interval. There may be some difficulties in life but the idea never stopped me walking towards my target. I held my target high and worked towards it. I learned  a lot about the job at Kadir Has University and my teachers’ work experiences contributed tremendously. Right now I ‘m working as an assistant  Customs Councellor at Gökbora Logistics Company, which is the 3 rd biggest company in its field. I just reached the first step of my target through this position. I achieved it due to Kadir Has University. I’d like to thank to all who have contributed.

After I completed my studies at Kadir Has University Social Sciences Vocational School Banking and Insurance Department, I got into  Istanbul University Economety Department and now I’m continuing my education. My university always supported me to be social and entpreneurial. I was accepted to Ing Bank  internship thanks to my good education at the university  and it helped me gain a habit of not spending my summers idle. My internship  at Denizbank was for one month originally, but it was extended to 3 months. You shouldn’t scorn  internship. In fact you gain insight about  the job you really want. At the end of my internship, I started to work part time  at the same place. I worked for a year there. I wanted to go to the USA, so I quit the job. I gained a lot of experience through Work and Travel and I advise it to all students. Sometimes things don’t go as they should, but the important thing is perseverance and self confidence. I believe ambition is a must for success. There is nothing impossible, it only takes a while. I strongly advocate for  the aforementioned saying. I would like to thank to Bora  Selçuk, Cüneyt Dirican, Yüceay Kandoğmuş and Binnaz Karalı who helped me build my belief in me. Nobody is superior over others, maybe a little more disciplined or more hardworking. And this shouldn’t be a war we can’t win. I take part at the board of Kadir Has University Graduates Association and thus always proudly be with my school

After I worked there for one and a half year, I decided to change my job for the self-development. I learned animation in addition to my knowledge of graphic and printing in my new job. My aim now is learning three dimensional modelling. I love my job and learning new things is very enjoyable. Academic education is not enough. The important thing is being able to use your knowledge in business life.

Asuman DOĞAN (Printing and Publication Technologies)

It read, “Kadir Has University, Printing and Publication Technologies (Full Scholarship)”. I was really delighted with that. Then and only then did I know it was the right place to realize the life. I do not comprehend how the two years had gone by; they just flew away as the saying goes. As all good things come to an end, those two years came to an end too. Each teacher has some contribution on us naturally, but we can never pay our department head’s care on us. I learned too many things from my department’s head in respect to both perspective on life and also my education. Now I can proudly say, “So glad that I am a Kadir Has graduate”. I commenced working at Star Daily in the Technical Department, Color Separation (Graphics) division only after three months I had graduated from school. I never hesitated about being successful in my work although it was my first experience. I set off with self confidence and contribution of Kadir Has University in this respect is really great!
