Dear Class of 2025,

We are proud and excited to have reached the end of our 2024-2025 Academic Year. I sincerely thank all our students, academic and administrative staff members who have enabled us to progress without compromising our quality of education during this period.

You are graduating from Sabancı University after great effort, determination, and perseverance. You have reached your graduation as individuals equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values you have acquired on this journey that you started as the most distinguished students of Turkey. Now, no matter where you are in the world, I wholeheartedly believe that you will successfully overcome all the difficulties you will encounter with the strong scientific background and interdisciplinary thinking competence with which Sabancı University has provided you.

This year has been an important year in terms of strengthening our national and international collaborations, as well as many achievements for our university, which celebrated its first 25 years. When we look at the job placement rate of approximately 19 thousand graduates we have had in a quarter of a century, we see that we are ranked first in Turkey, and we are very pleased with this.

Sabancı University graduates are making a difference not only in Turkey but also in the most prestigious institutions, research centers, creative industries, and their own enterprises all around the world. You are now a part of this strong and effective alumni network. As of today, I have no doubt that you will be exemplary individuals with the skills, self-confidence, and ethical values you possess as ambassadors of Sabancı University in every environment you are in.
We have done our best to provide you not only with a strong education but also a lifestyle based on thinking, questioning, creating, and producing together. We know that what you have acquired will accompany you in every step you take from now on. As the Sabancı University family, we will continue to be with you and proudly follow your successes.

May your path be clear and your future bright!

I congratulate you all from the bottom of my heart.
