The first session of this year’s “Open Microphone” series, a tradition where our university administration consults with students to gather their views and suggestions, was held on February 17, 2026, at the Media and Events Center. Alongside guest of honor, our Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan; our Rector, Prof. Atilla Arkan and our General Secretary, Sebahattin Belik, were also in attendance.
During the event, which serves as a platform for students to share their perspectives on administrative and academic processes, Mr. Erdoğan addressed various questions directed to him by the student body.
In response to a question regarding Double Major and Minor programs, currently utilized by nearly 30% of our undergraduate students, Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan stated that more student exchange programs and similar educational opportunities would be provided in the future. He expressed his satisfaction with the strong bonds formed between Turkish and international students at Ibn Haldun University, emphasizing the institution's commitment to providing an international and multicultural educational environment.
Students shared their questions and comments with our Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan on a wide range of topics, including the activities of the Alumni Association, Arabic and English preparatory programs, student club activities, and dormitory facilities.
The event concluded with a commemorative group photo.
