Commencement ceremonies have been important events to build the institutional memory of the university since 2000, when the first students graduated. The “Academic Year Closing Lecture” given to the commencement class one day before the ceremony has also become a tradition.
The person to deliver the academic year closing conference is chosen by a democratic and participatory process led by the commencement class. This year’s lecturer will be Presidential Grand Prize in Culture and Arts 2010 laureate and Harvard University faculty member, Ottoman history expert Professor Cemal Kafadar.
Kafadar’s lecture will be titled “Our Region, Our Neighbors and Us.”
All Sabancı University members are invited.
