Dear Rector,

Esteemed Vice Rector,

Esteemed faculty members,

Our esteemed administrative staff,

and my dear colleagues,

Welcome to our faculty's 2025–2026 Academic Board Meeting.

During the past academic year, thanks to your dedicated work, scientific productivity, and the guidance you provide to our students, our faculty has achieved significant success. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all our academic and administrative staff who have contributed to the development of our faculty.

The new academic year will be a period filled with new goals, new beginnings, and innovations for both our faculty and our students. The rapid changes and transformations in the healthcare field place a responsibility on us to constantly stay up-to-date, to renew ourselves, and to prepare our students in the most equipped way for the future.

As a faculty, our vision is to cultivate individuals who not only impart knowledge but also possess ethical values, are inquisitive, socially conscious, and solution-oriented.

In this regard, our priorities in the new term are:

• Continuously improving the quality of our education and training,

• Increasing productivity in scientific research,

• Developing national and international collaborations,

• Expanding projects that contribute to public health.

Furthermore, creating environments that support the academic, professional, and personal development of our students is among our core goals.

Achieving these goals will only be possible if all stakeholders of our faculty work with the same faith and determination.

Dear faculty members,

To ensure a healthy, orderly, and productive new academic year, I request that you pay particular attention to the following:

• Starting classes on time and adhering to class end times,

• Fully adhering to the curriculum specified in the course schedule,

• Ensuring that practical courses are held at the specified times and content,

• Paying attention to the regular supervision of practical areas and course delivery processes,

The planned and disciplined execution of educational activities is crucial for both the academic success of our students and the institutional quality of our faculty.

I thank all our faculty members for their diligence and contributions. I hope the new academic year will be one filled with health, peace, success, and productivity for all of us. I thank you in advance for your contributions and efforts to further advance our faculty.

On this occasion, I extend my respects to all the academic and administrative staff who attended our meeting. I wish the 2025–2026 academic year to be auspicious for our faculty, university, and students.
