From the Student Union
Dear Friends,
Another academic year has started. We would like to say, to those who have newly joined us, welcome to Bilkent; and for all those former students, welcome back. It may feel a little odd to be a new student at a big university, but pretty soon you will realize that Bilkent is not just a university but will become a totally new lifestyle for you. As you work hard in your classes, you will be making new friends who will be with you, not only in your academic life, but beyond the university at every stage of your professional career.
The Student Union is here to help you every step of the way, so please feel free to come and meet your Student Union representatives. We are eager to tell you about our projects and we would be more than happy to listen to your suggestions and ideas. Take this opportunity to participate in a rich array of social activities by joining one or more of those clubs which match your areas of interest. Enjoy your time at Bilkent as your learn about life, the world and yourself.
My best wishes to everyone, and good luck!
Sibel Muradoğlu, President

Faculty Member to Exhibit at the 6th International Biennial of Engraving
Ilgım Veryeri, an instructor in the Department of Fine Arts, has been selected to exhibit her art work at the “6th International Biennial of Engraving”, in Italy. The exhibition is organized by the Rotary International, in Acqui Terme. Among the 800 participants from various countries, Veryeri’s work was recognized as one of the best pieces.
Art critic Carlo Adelio Galimberti has this to say about the exhibition: “A biennial of engravers’ art offers the comforting sense of a safe haven in the tumultuous seas of the contemporary art world. I believe it is fair to say that this event has an intense value, in times that celebrate artistic styles and manners, whose poetic scope often lasts no more than a handful of minutes.”
In October 2003, Veryeri’s art will be part of the American National Collage Society's Annual Exhibit. The jury, artist and art educator Tim Shuckerow, artist and drawing lecturer Christopher Pekoc, artist and photography lecturer Alexander Aiken, selected her collage entitled, “Labor of Love” for the 19th Annual Juried Exhibit. The art piece will be part of the show in Ohio at Case Western Reserve University next month.
In September 2003, Veryeri also received a purchase prize in printmaking at the State Exhibition on Paintings and Sculptures organized by the Republic of Turkey, Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Veryeri’s engraving entitled “The Whale” is now part of the permanent art collection of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The exhibition can currently be seen at the Ankara Museum of Paintings and Sculptures.
