Özgün İnceoğlu
2016 - Fashion Design Graduate
Fashion has always been a passion for me. I preferred Izmir University of Economics, Department of Fashion Design because I wanted to live and keep this passion alive, which is a part of my life, professionally. Izmir University of Economics, where I was placed in 2011 with a scholarship, has been one of the most important factors that shaped my life. I graduated as a second ranking student from the University where I was 'High Honor Student' for 4 years.

Damla Eytemiz
2009 - English Translation and Interpreting Graduate
In my first year at Izmir University of Economics, I started to improve myself not only academically but also socially by taking advantage of the numerous opportunities that the school has offered. When I was working at the Student Affairs unit of the University, I visited high schools in different cities with our esteemed educators and represented our school. I added another language to my resume by improving my German education, which started in high school, at the University. I did volunteer work in well-known institutions such as Izmir Chamber of Commerce, International Cotton Advisory Committee, Aegean Exporters' Associations.

2011 - Media and Communication Graduate
I got into Izmir University of Economics Faculty of Communication, Department of Media and Communication with full scholarship, as my first choice in 2006. Almost everyone around me asked why I did not choose another school in Istanbul, that I would get into that school anyway. I never wanted to leave Izmir and I think the best place to get education in Izmir was Izmir University of Economics.

2012 - Business Administration Graduate
Year 2007 summer and the last days of the university preference period. Frankly, I remember that I came to Izmir with the suggestions of my two older sisters who were very successful in their careers and school life and who lived in Izmir during the years when I approached private school with a very biased way. They were the first to recommend Izmir University of Economics to me. When I came to the university for the first time, we encountered its orange emblem and brick walls.
