Prof. Dr. Bülent Özipek, the founding dean of our faculty, retired in July 2022. A farewell ceremony was held for Engineer Hamdi Demirler, who retired with Dr. Özipek at the same time, and for our research assistants Pelin Altay, Havva Başkan Bayrak, Hatice Tufan Açıkgöz and Betül Kalebayır Dağparçası who completed their incumbency in the faculty. The retirement ceremony for Nuray Uçar, who retired in October 2022, and Gülay Özcan, who retired in November 2022, will take place in the spring term of 2022-2023.

We would like to thank them for their valuable contributions to our faculty.
