HEALTHY YOUTH AND HEALTHY FUTURE PROGRAM WAS AT İZMIR UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS
IUE Board of Trustees President Ekrem Demirtaş stated that the establishment of İzmir University of Economics was the implementation of İzmir Economics Congress testament and said, “We started to work for the establishment of the university in 1989. It is established in 2001 and started education. Our aim is to raise entrepreneur young people who know at least two foreign languages with a student oriented interactive education. The place where we are after 8 years proves that we accomplished this. We have approximately 6 thousand students today. We work hard to raise them. We have a company named Embryonix. Through this company, we support the ones whose projects are accepted. We provide job opportunities for them. Today, İzmir University of Economics is one of the few universities that spend their money mainly for the students and it is also the university that has the lowest prize.”
Vice-Rector Prof. Dr. Cemali Dinçer stated that İzmir University of Economics was giving education with 5 Faculties, 2 Graduate Schools, 3 Schools and 24 Departments and said “We have 10 Associate Degree, 8 Master’s Degree and 3 Doctoral Degree programs. We also have 7 research centers. I am an academician for 22 years. What I have learned so far is that you should provide social and cultural opportunities to students to support their mental and physical health. There are more than 50 clubs at our university. As it is seen here, with the Folk Dances Club, they have time for social activities as well as their lessons. With these kinds of activities, they learn to be a team and take on responsibility. They discover their talents. All these are beneficial for the business life.”
The students expressed their ideas about the university in the program that IUE Music Group made up of Alaskar Abbasov-(Keyboard), Teoman Dalcı- (Percussion), Ceren Cengiz-(Violin), Onur Çağırıcı-(Guitar) and Aybüke Albere (Vocal) sang two songs.
