Setting the Course: A Message from Your Student Council President
Dear Bilkent University Students,
As the president of your Student Council for the 2008-2009 academic year, I would like to take this opportunity to let you know about our plans and expectations for the new academic year. Our main goal, of course, is to continue developing the already rich social life that exists on campus. After all, a good balance between studies and social interaction is crucial for health and happiness. We believe in Bilkent, and want to unite all students under the Bilkent banner. We will keep the spirit of the school alive and well, and help every student feel as though they are part of something special.
Your new council is starting off with passion. We are here to work for you, and have your needs in mind. As your connection to the administration, we want to hear your concerns, suggestions, thoughts, feelings and desires when it comes to this school. We urge you to take an active role by communicating with us.
We are dedicated to doing our very best to represent each and every student, and Bilkent University.
Student Council President

His second exhibition, held in conjunction with Wtodzimierz Piechowiez under the title of "Cappadocia," opened November 14 and will run until December 5 at the Regional Showground Center of the Lower Vistula River Valley in Tczew, Poland. It is made up of two slide shows of color photographs. Aksoy's photography features panoramic landscapes from Kızılçukur and Ortahisar, Cappadocia, the Salt Lake and historical sites from Knidos, Aphrodisias, Sagalassos, Aizanoi and Yazılıkaya (Midas).
