This program is a volunteer-based project that Istinye graduates can share their personal and career development experience to Istinye students who are open to development and learning. While it offers our students the opportunity to get to know business life closely, it also provides our graduates with the opportunity to get to know the new generation and develop new relationships.

Program applications will be received in the near future via www.isu.network.

Alumni Relations Office, values making field visits to our graduates working in companies and institutions operating in different sectors.

The main purposes of our alumni visits are;

  • Keeping the Istinye bond strong
  • To enable our graduates to present their knowledge and experience in the sector with students and new graduates
  • Announcing the projects and achievements of the graduates to the Istinye family

Our graduates, who can provide support in this direction by hosting us, can send a message to the Alumni Relations Office on the http://www.isu.network platform.

We host our graduates at our university and bring them together with students from their departments. While our graduates share their business experiences with our students, our students have the opportunity to ask questions about the business world they will be involved after graduation.

Our graduates who would like to participate in our alumni talks can send an e-mail to alumni@istinye.edu.tr.
