As part of the Republic Day and Atatürk Commemoration Week activities on October 29, the Social Sciences Department organized a talk on Thursday, October 31, featuring Dr. Pelin Batu on the topic “Atatürk as an Intellectual.” Dr. Pelin Batu shared with students from the Prep, 9th, 10th, and 11th grades insights into Atatürk’s educational journey and how it shaped the foundation of the Republic, enriched by quotes from Atatürk’s own memories. We extend our thanks to Ms. Pelin Batu for conveying the diverse aspects and intellectual legacy of our great leader, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, to our students.
