The May 2026 edition of the “Successful Academicians Meet the Rector” event, which recognizes researchers for their high-quality academic achievements, was held as a breakfast gathering.

Within the scope of this event, Dr. Hazel Duru, a faculty member of our department, was recognized by the Rectorate for her publications published in Q1-ranked journals.

The high-quality scholarly work conducted by our faculty member at the international level makes significant contributions to the literature while also enhancing the academic visibility of both our department and our university.

We congratulate our colleague on this valuable achievement and wish her continued success and productivity in her academic endeavors.
