Please find below some examples of my intended contributions to universities I work at through administrative roles and social engagements.
a. Quality Nominee, Pearson licensed Higher Nationals in Business Qualifications at TEDU (2020 – 2024)
Since 2019, I worked in the steering committee with the last two Deans of the Faculty of Economics and Administration Sciences and two Heads of the Department of Business Administration, for the intellectual property and trademark licensing agreements between TED University and Pearson Education Limited, to offer Pearson licensed Higher Nationals Diploma (HND) and Certificate (HNC) in Business qualifications to TEDU students in 2022 and 2023. I was appointed as the Quality Nominee for BTEC HND and HNC qualifications by the Department of Business Administration. Then on I contributed to preparing the Program Procedures and Principles for the Pearson licensed HN qualifications at TEDU in cooperation with the Department, Faculty and the Rectorate. This service ended as of 2024 December.
b. Academic Advisor, Model United Nations (MUN) at TEDU (2022 Fall, 2023 Spring, 2023 Fall, 2024 Spring)
In 2022-2023, upon request from the Secretary-General of the Model United Nations (MUN) at TEDU, I assumed the responsibility to be the academic advisor to this student society. In summer 2023, as an enthusiastic team, they organized a great conference, TEDU MUN 2023. Despite numerous difficulties following two devastating earthquakes and an overwhelming election, Secretary-General, Ms. Nisa Oncel, and the Director, Ms. Dogasu Polat, and the Deputy Secretary-General, Mr. Eren Yalcin, invited me to join esteemed speakers, the Rector and the United Nations Resident in Turkiye, for a speech at the conference. Then for 2024 I was invited for an opening speech.
