BAU Industrial Engineering, I am Coming!!!!

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

What a great excitement, what a great feeling! 

Proudly, I am going to have an Industrial Engineering Bachelor's Degree at Bahcesehir University (BAU) in Istanbul/Turkey on BAU's admission system ApplyBAU's merit-based full scholarship.

BAU's Main Campus in Besiktas, downtown Istanbul. An urban campus which is located along the serene beauty of Bosphorus.

A world university in the heart of Istanbul, BAU provides an international education of the highest quality with its well-established global partnerships. BAU is the leading private university in Turkey's region in terms of full-time international student enrollment. BAU also has its own abroad satellite campuses and academic centers. Furthermore, BAU conducts a comprehensive CO-OP programme (integrated educational model of university study and the business world) with 1500 local and 150 international partners. Besides, BAU is a partner of Startupboothcamp, and Startupboothcamp Istanbul is located at BAU Besiktas Campus. With all of these and more, BAU is a visionary international university which is proudly mine :D

Above, I am with my ApplyBAU Acceptance Letter.

I have been awarded ApplyBAU full merit scholarship in May 2014. As a brand new university entrance system for Turkey, Bahcesehir University's ApplyBAU is an admissions system like the other international colleges' ones. You submit a portfolio, including your CV, various essays about yourself and some test scores like TOEFL. ApplyBAU's admissions team evaluate your application and then invite you to have an interview if you are qualified enough. I applied to B.Sc. Industrial Engineering program so I had an interview with the Head of Industrial Engineering Prof. Erkan Bayraktar. We had a chat about the automotive industry, therefore the interview was fantastic for me :D

I always hoped to share my moments, works and achievements with you from an international institution. Gratefully, my dreams have come true. I have become a member of BAU, a world university in the heart of Istanbul!

I'm Officially Graduated :D

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

As an official grad of BHSSciTech—Bahcesehir High School for Science and Technology in Istanbul, the first science & technology high school and one of the highest ranked high schools in Turkey— it is a great honour for me to make a post about this precious milestone in my life. I got the photos today, so I am curious to share my poses with you:

My studio poses and suit pose for the graduation.

We, BHSSciTech Class of 2014, had our cap throwing graduation ceremony at our school campus in Bahcesehir/Istanbul on June 23, 2014.

Above, I am with my very dear teacher Mrs. Sinem Ergen Çorak (second on the left) and my lovely parents. As the main actors of the event, my friends and I were on the red carpet. Proudly, I was saluted as "an Istanbul Gentleman and the founder of CharityOnBoard" :D My tie was gifted by my dear friend Mr. Olmezsoy—burgundy as my favorite color :D

Just one day later, our prom was held in Ciragan Palace Istanbul. We had a cocktail party in Pierre Lounge and a fine dining in Mabeyn Ballroom. For the overall, it was a fantastic experience.

All the grads together, BHSSciTech and Bahcesehir College High School Class of 2014. I am in the very last row with Miss Nur Erek.

What a fantastic honor, I posed with precious ladies in the following photos :D 

A great selfie with Miss Nur Erek at the entrance of Çırağan Palace.

And gorgeously with Miss Naz Geyikçi inside the palace.

Lastly, I am with my dear friends Mr. Zafer Çavdar and Miss Naz Geyikçi.

Before finishing my words, I would like to say that both our graduation ceremony and the prom have brought me an awesome delight. Now, I am officially graduated from BHSSciTech!

Memories—Miscellaneous

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, I came across with my photos from fantastic events while checking my external harddisk. Most of them are from the last year and I just wanted to share them with you in this post.

This photo above is from April 2013, during my salutation to Mr. Turgut Senol who is the founding general manager of the Teknopark Istanbul. I had the chance to meet Mr. Senol in February 2013, in a presentation that I made. During that presentation, I had a great chat with Mr. Senol about automotive industry in general and a possible Turkish car brand. Relatedly, I shared my ideas for establishing a mid-class green car brand.

 Again, I am with Dear Mr. Senol while he is so kindly honoring me by announcing me to the audience as an "Automotive Genius". That's why there is a smile on my face :D

Here, I am on the stage with Ms. Yagmur Karalar in a commemoration event for Turkish artists and scientists in October 2012. I performed a Turkish scientist Prof. Mustafa Inan and Ms. Karalar was the actress Afife Jale.

And lastly, this precious moment is from March 2013 while I am making the opening speech of the Science Week.
