TOBB President and TOBB ETU Board of Trustees Chairman M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu issued a statement for students who chose TOBB ETU, “Welcome to the TOBB ETU Family.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his message:
“Dear students who have joined the TOBB ETU Family,
Having successfully passed the University Entrance Exam (LYS) following
an arduous preparation period, you have chosen to receive your higher education
at TOBB ETU.
We, the academia, student body, alumni and managerial personnel of TOBB
ETU are a family.
That is why I welcome you to the TOBB ETU Family. You’ve reached one of
the milestones of your life by choosing TOBB ETU. What you need to do from here
on end is to work harder with the support of TOBB ETU.
Ten years ago, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey
(TOBB), with 1.5 million members, pioneered the establishment of the University
of Economy and Technology in order to address the need for an institution to
train ready-to-compete personnel for the business community in the
international level.
Time has shown that TOBB ETU has been embraced throughout Turkey and has
made great strides in such a short time.
Our university, in this regard, is the most meaningful of TOBB’s
endeavors. As a well-established institution, TOBB is transferring its
accumulation of experience into the youth via TOBB ETU, giving them the wings
with which to fly.
The system we’ve established in TOBB ETU is unique in Turkey. Our goal
is to train enterprising and innovative young people.
Whether they establish their own business or work within an institution,
whether they work in academia, all TOBB ETU alumni are trained in accordance
with the enterprising spirit. They witness the value of this upon entering the
business world.
With my warmest regards…”
