We were honored to hear from Prof. Dr. Ali Güneș, Rector of the University of New York Tirana, at our recent graduation ceremony. His inaugural speech as Rector was filled with inspiring words and profound insights for our graduates.
Prof. Dr. Güneș highlighted the significance of this milestone, marking the culmination of years of diligent work and perseverance by our students. He shared the rich history of the University of New York Tirana, established in 2002 as Albania's first private English-medium university, and its growth under the Turkish Maarif Foundation since 2018.
He emphasized the importance of not just professional achievements but also the positive impact our graduates can make on the world. Success, he reminded us, is measured by kindness, integrity, and passion. He urged our graduates to carry the spirit of wonder, critical thinking, and innovation instilled in them during their time here.
Prof. Dr. Güneș encouraged our graduates to embrace the future with an open heart and a curious mind, reminding them that the journey ahead is filled with opportunities and challenges. He thanked the faculty for their dedication, the families for their unwavering support, and celebrated the outstanding achievements of the Class of 2024.
His message was clear: Use your knowledge and skills to make a positive difference in the world, strive for excellence, and remember that the future is a journey, not a destination.
Thank you, Prof. Dr. Ali Güneș, for your inspiring words and for leading us towards a brighter future.
