The Boardroom Program Successfully Completed!
The Boardroom Program, conducted under the leadership of Son Okul Demir Kılıç Arslantürk, in collaboration with the Bahçeşehir University Department of Business Administration and our center, BAU Branding Innovation Center, and with the valuable support of BAU CO-OP, has been successfully completed.
The program was carried out with the participation of guest Board Members from the Women on Board Association. Throughout five weeks of Board of Directors meetings, students’ presentations were evaluated within the framework of a real boardroom experience.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our guest Board Members who supported the program and added value with their contributions:
Ceylan Guzekin, Beril Koparal, Nihal Kanay, Sumru Atalay, Ayşe Ayşin Işıkgece, Sibel Yazıcı Kesler, Tülye Sekendiz, and Şerife Füsun Ömür.
We also thank our guest academic Board Members who contributed to the evaluation process with their academic perspectives throughout the program:
Elif Yolbulan Okan, who brought the program to life; Prof. Dr. Reha Yolanan; Prof. Dr. İpek Altınbaşak; and Hümeyra Adıgüzel, Dean of BAU FEASS (Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences).
We wholeheartedly congratulate our student teams who worked in a real Board of Directors environment, fulfilled their weekly responsibilities with a strong sense of accountability, and successfully completed the program:
Zeynep Bıyıklı, Nur Meydan, Ahmet Ömer Seymen, Hasan Can Yılmaz, Can Kısacık, Zeynep Ağaoğlu, Halis Çağan Baran, İsmail Mert Uncuoğlu, Ilgın Seyhan, Gökçe Yazan, Ayşenur Ciğercioğulları, and Gaye Gül Sarıbaşak.
The Boardroom has served as a powerful learning and development platform where students experienced real Board of Directors meetings while still at university, directly engaging with decision-making, presentation, and feedback cultures.
We sincerely thank all our stakeholders, our contributing Board Members, and our students who successfully completed this valuable journey.
