Müge Özgenel's message to our graduates; “When I think of Istanbul Kültür University and the Kültür family, the first thing that comes to my mind is that a good education is always prioritized and kept at the forefront, and that we can reach the places that our hearts desire with our individual efforts.
In addition to professional ethics and a solid English, IKU instilled in me the culture of life that I need to feed my soul with art as well as being an engineer. Now that you are an IKU student, I wish your university story to be the best beginning of your professional life.”
