Törenin açılış konuşmasını yapan İktisadi ve İdari Birimler Fakültesi Dekanı Prof. Dr. Ebül Muhsin Doğan ailelere seslenerek, "Dört yıl boyunca büyük fedakarlıklarla okuttuğunuz çocuklarınız artık hayatlarının yeni bir safhasına geçtiler. Artık çocuk değil, birer birey oldular. Sizler de artık yaptığınız fedakarlıkların sonuna geldiniz. Delivering the opening speech of the ceremony, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Dean Prof. Ebül Muhsin Doğan addressed the families saying “You schooled your children with much self-sacrifice, and now they passed to a new phase of their lives. They are no longer children but individuals. You also came to the end of your self-sacrifice. You can’t be proud enough of your children. We are also proud of all our children we graduate today.”
Pointing out that besides good days, challenges may also have been faced, addressed the students stating “I thank you for making us and your families live this happiness. At the end of the four years with its ups and downs, now it’s time to say your goodbyes. We give you our blessings”.
Remembering all our martyrs, especially martyrs of 15 July, Prof. Ebul Muhsin Doğan said “What befalls upon you is to put one step forward what they believed in and not stay still. I wish you all success throughout your lives”.
Beginning his speech delivering the kind regards of Rector Prof. Sait Bilgiç, who could not attend the graduation ceremony due to his intense programme, Vice Rector Prof. Vedat Ceyhan requested an applause for the academicians and families who raised the students and deserved the graduation joy as much as the students.
