Our National Poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy was commemorated on the 85th anniversary of his death in the program organized by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.

Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Recai Kılıç, Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Prof. Dr. Abdullah İnci, academicians and students attended the commemoration program held at Mehmet Akif Ersoy Conference Hall in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.

After the moment of silence and the National Anthem, Prof. Dr. Abdullah İnci gave information about the faculty. He said: “Erciyes University is a university that has created its own brand and has brand products. This branding is one of the main goals of universities.”

Thanking those who contributed to the organization of the program, Prof. Dr. Recai Kılıç said: “Everyone is curious about the real professions of people who left their mark on history. We see that they also became successful in their professional lives. When we search the background of our National Poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy in the field of veterinary medicine, we find out that he worked in the field for more than 20 years and that he is one of the first veterinarians of our country. It becomes clear with his professional aspect that he is one of the important figures whom our students should follow his example.”

After the opening speeches, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Prof. Dr. Ali Cesur Onmaz made a presentation about the first 25-year development process and the achievements of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
