A great welcome back to campus
2022-2023 Academic Year started with great enthusiasm at Izmir University of Economics (IUE), accompanied by concerts, dance performances, sports games and competitions, and 2,361 students were introduced to university life for the first time. The youth spent time to their heart's content and recharged their energy at the events where 60 student clubs set up booths on campus, music groups gave concerts, and Latin and folk dance ensembles performed splendid performances. IUE Rector Prof. Dr. Murat Aşkar also played volleyball with them, watched the concerts and toured the stands.
In the ‘Welcome Day’ events that continued throughout the day at Izmir University of Economics, music groups ‘Kıvanç and the Groovemen’, ‘Bazı Gerçekler’ and student groups took the stage. On the day marked by DJ performances, the entertainment peaked with tug-of-war, volleyball matches and various events.
MAKE THE MOST OF THIS TIME
Stating that they are very well prepared for the new semester, IUE Rector Prof. Dr. Murat Aşkar said that they will create many success stories with the students who started their university education this year. The Rector said, “Every period of education life is special and unforgettable. However, university life is different; you are entering a period where you will discover yourself and maybe take steps that will shape your whole life. You will leave here as a person who has become an expert in the field and has a profession. You will never forget what you experienced here for the rest of your life. Make the most of your university time; have fun, live an active life, improve yourself socially, but use your time efficiently. Definitions of professions are changing. Perhaps, when you graduate, new professions related to your field of study will emerge. Consider this and invest in yourself by accessing qualified information and establishing a social milieu. We will always stand by you so that you can accomplish all these things.”
