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.

Academic Advisor, Model United Nations (MUN) at TEDU (2022 – 2023, 2023 – 2024)
There are numerous service opportunities for scientists to contribute to the society. In 2022-2023, upon request from the Secretary-General of the student organization, Model United Nations (MUN), I assumed the responsibility to be their advisor. In summer 2023, as an enthusiastic team, the student club organized a great summer conference, TEDU MUN, despite 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 Turkey, for a welcome speech at the conference first for the 2023 conference and then for 2024 conference, both available below.
