"Bilkent has always had an excellent atmosphere
conducive to preparing students for lifelong learning. I
have always felt privileged to have the opportunity to
teach at Bilkent. It is especially gratifying to receive
this award from students and alumni."
Ömer Benli (Assoc. Prof. IE)
"I am honored to be selected as a Distinguished Teacher.
As students mature to a level appropriate to the
university environment, it is our responsibility as
facilitators rather than dominators to provide the
platform for the transformation of their outlook. Having
come from a people-oriented and labor-intensive industry
where customer needs and satisfaction are a priority,
academically I am in a position to empathize with the
students' perspective in anticipating and meeting their
needs. My sincere thanks to all my current and former
students!"
Perin Öztin (Chair THM)
"I feel very grateful to our university, to our
department administrators and faculty, and especially to
our students for this unexpected honor. I also think
that Guram Apichazava, my dedicated interpreter, has a
share in this award. It has been three years since we
left Georgia to start working at Bilkent. Being
recognized for my teaching in such a short time
demonstrates that it is very important for our future to
live in peace by disregarding differences in culture,
language, religion, and ethnic background."
