The registration process for the associate and undergraduate programs at Atatürk University has been successfully concluded, and educational activities have commenced on the 10th of July. In the current academic year, precisely 6,371 students have duly enrolled in the summer school program, encompassing a diverse cohort of individuals. This cohort comprises155 students hailing from various esteemed higher education institutions, as well as a contingent of foreign students. The summer school program is set to persist until the concluding date of 27 August 2023.
Upon the culmination of the academic term, students persist in their pursuit of knowledge by enrolling in summer school, with the aim of augmenting their scholastic standing and availing themselves of advanced coursework from subsequent semesters. Currently, Atatürk University, which is esteemed among the academic community and attracts students from various higher education institutions in addition to its own student body, diligently persists in providing uninterrupted educational services throughout the summer season.
The esteemed Rector Çomaklı expresses his profound appreciation for the unwavering enthusiasm and dedication exhibited during the Summer School program. He ardently emphasizes that the pursuit of knowledge and intellectual growth remains unabated, even amidst the scorching heat of the summer season.
In affirming the provision of courses outside the purview of their respective institutions within the esteemed Atatürk University, Rector Prof. Dr. Ömer Çomaklı underscores the pivotal necessity this fulfills for students. He further expounds that the vibrancy of the campus persists not only during the conventional academic term but also throughout the summer months. The significance of the summer school, as underscored by Rector Çomaklı, extends beyond the mere sustenance of the university, encompassing the perpetuation of the city's cultural and social fabric. It is worth noting that this cultural tradition has endured within the university's realm for a considerable span of time. The significance of the convergence of 155 universities and international students at our esteemed institution cannot be overstated, as it fosters a sense of cultural cohesion. The summer school program holds significant value in terms of both enhancing the prominence of Erzurum and fostering cross-cultural understanding by acquainting participants with the diverse customs, traditions, and societal norms prevalent in various cities and nations. Taking into consideration these cogitations, I extend my sincere aspirations for triumph to all the esteemed individuals partaking in our esteemed summer school initiative. This program was established with the noble intention of affording our students the chance to avail themselves of the educational and instructional prospects proffered by our esteemed institution during the summer semester, and to optimally harness these prospects for their personal growth and development.
