Prof. Nevzat Tarhan: “Eids are the most beautiful occasions to unite hearts”

President of Üsküdar University, Chairman of the Supreme Board of Management Prof. Nevzat Tarhan stated that Eids are special days that strengthen love, solidarity, and brotherhood. Tarhan said; “Eids are days that lead to love and affection. They are the most beautiful occasions for solidarity, brotherhood, and uniting hearts. The word 'Kurban' (sacrifice) also means to draw closer. This drawing closer refers to a person getting closer to both their loved ones and the Creator. In a period when wars and poverty are experienced in many parts of the world, we must not forget those in need, our elders, friends, and neighbors. Especially the warm family environment and empathetic communication experienced by children during Eids are never forgotten throughout life. I wish for Eids to bring peace, tranquility, and hope to humanity.”

Prof. Nazife Güngör: “This year, we enter Eid with our project successes”

Rector of Üsküdar University Prof. Nazife Güngör stated that Eids offer an opportunity for rest and renewal, drawing attention to the university's academic achievements. Güngör said; “We are entering this Eid with a significantly high number of project and TÜBİTAK successes. Our students have made significant achievements, and I believe this year is a record compared to previous years. This year, we are entering Eid with our project successes. ARGEYEP, our academicians, and our university's project-oriented approach have made significant contributions to this success. We wish for these achievements to multiply in future Eids. I wish you all a healthy, peaceful, and joyful Eid.”

Prof. Türker Tekin Ergüzel: “We continue to keep our Eid celebration culture alive”

Vice-Rector Prof. Türker Tekin Ergüzel emphasized the importance of the Eid celebration tradition maintained by Üsküdar University since its establishment. Ergüzel said; “I would like to share my satisfaction that our university has continued the Eid celebration culture uninterrupted since the day it was founded. We continue to keep our Eid celebration culture alive. As scientists, we know that human survival is possible not only through strength but also through cooperation, compassion, sharing, and empathy. Our spiritual world complements this truth with the language of the heart.”
