A sweet, enduring touch of unity

Today, on September 20th, the Rector of the University of New York Tirana, Prof. Dr. Ismail Kocayusufoglu, invited the academic and the administrative staff at a familiar gathering at the premises of UNYT.

“We are together on one ship. On this ship, we have to live in harmony with one another. Like a cup of this Ashura, prepared with different ingredients, when joined all together brings a delicious dessert. In the Turkish Maarif Foundation family, everyone will be able to keep and retain their own identity, culture, faith, heritage, richness, and taste. Together we feel more secure, more empowered, and our university will further enrich its already high academic standards to improve the quality in education. Let this be a reminder of the old days when these simple gestures of serving others were valued more and a reminder we all have to start from serving other to achieve “- were some of the words of Rector Kocayusufoglu

“Diversity enriches the educational experience. We learn from those whose experiences, beliefs, and perspectives are different from our own, and these lessons can be taught best in a richly diverse intellectual and social environment”
