Hülya Ezgi Tolay

I had worries and indecision about which school to choose in 2013 when I passed the university entrance exam. As a result of my research, I decided that the most suitable university for me would be Izmir University of Economics. I graduated from the Faculty of Business, Department of Political Science and International Relations in 2018.

Büşra Kırmızıoğlu

Immediately after graduating with honors in 2009, I completed my academic education in 2011, which I continued at a postgraduate degree in Istanbul. I gained professional experience for 3 years in different advertising and PR agencies in Istanbul. As a result of my application to the lecturing staff opened by YOK in the Rectorate of Pamukkale University in 2017, I was entitled to work as a Public Relations Specialist in this institution. I have been working as the Director of Press and Public Relations since 2019 at the institution where I am still working. Since the very beginning of my career, the most important fact that I learned during my education at Izmir University of Economics and which sheds light on me is the fact that as long as the information was conveyed to people with a correct communication method, that information provided a benefit beyond the meaning acknowledged by the next generation.
