Excellence Awards

2020-2021 Excellence Award Winners Announced

Özyeğin University honors full-time faculty members and instructors’ outstanding contribution to our University with Excellence Awards. The winners of the "Özyeğin University Excellence Awards" have been announced for the 2018-2019 academic year.

The Özyeğin University Excellence Awards were established by our University in 2013 to highlight the importance and value our University attaches to the outstanding achievements; to inspire winners for new achievements; to provide our young faculty members and instructors with a long-term perspective; to publicize award-winning achievements both within and outside the University; and to increase the quality of teaching-learning and research as well as community service and knowledge transfer. The awards are conferred in the "Research", "Knowledge Transfer", "Teaching-Learning", "Service", "Administrative Support", and "Rector’s Special Award" categories.

As a result of the consultations we had with the members of our Academic Board, we turned the "Rectorate's Excellence Awards", which we present to members of the OzU community who demonstrate excellence in the respective fields, into a collective commendation to honor all of our faculty and staff in recognition of both personal and professional challenges they triumphed over in the 2020-2021 Academic Year.
