Rector Prof. Dr. Abdulhamit Avşar, General Secretary Dr. Oğuz Özcan, academic and administrative staff and students attended the Ceremony.
Rector Prof. Dr. Avşar, who made a short opening speech at the ceremony, stated that sports are a tool that not only supports physical health, but also strengthens mental and emotional health, and advised students to continue doing sports.
Prof. Dr. Avşar continued his words by underlining that they will give more importance to sports in the coming period:
“Universities should encourage and support students to engage not only in studying but also in physical activities. Based on this, we, as Istanbul Ticaret University, encourage sports activities among our students. We know that sports create close bonds between students, strengthen friendship and solidarity, which helps students develop their social skills.”
Rector Prof. Dr. Avşar then presented awards to the winners of table tennis, chess, basketball and football tournaments. The Award Ceremony, which was as enthusiastic as the tournaments, ended with a group photo shoot.
