Dear Students,
As of February 4, 2019, we have started the 2018-2019 Academic Year Spring Semester. Before completing our academic year after leaving a semester behind, we would like to remind you the following:
First of all, if our first year students' GPA, which includes their grade point averages for this semester and last semester, is not above 1.80, our students will not be able to choose courses from the second year. In order for our second year students to graduate, their GPA must be 2.00 or higher.
We would like to remind you that you should be careful not to leave classes at the Summer School so that you can easily do your summer internships. We advise our students who do not do internships to contact the corporate communication units, public relations departments, communication consultancy and advertising agencies of government offices, private companies and non-governmental organizations and not to stay at the last minute to find an internship place.
After the successful completion of the fall semester, we would like to thank all of our students for their continued efforts, active participation and interest in their courses. We wish you the best of luck in your public relations campaign application projects and all other courses, where you will have the chance to put into practice the knowledge you have learned in the theoretical courses, confident that you will show the same synergy and success in the spring term.
It is our primary wish to graduate from our department with a strong curriculum vitae of our second year students who have adopted the professional theoretical and practical knowledge of our first year students, embraced the love and excitement for their future professions, the public relations and promotion sector, and are ready to embark on the profession. In addition to this, it is our main wish as your department professors that you finish a term as individuals who have become aware of the human dimension of the concept of social responsibility, which is also a part of our work, beyond creating an image, and who have adopted the principle of touching the world and people outside of themselves.
We hope that you can further develop our profession as global individuals who catch up with the times, keep up with innovation, feed on differences and adopt ethical values, with the awareness that the communication sector and its channels are constantly developing and transforming in today's digitalization world.
We wish success to all students, academicians and staff of our university in the spring semester.
