Müge Özgenel

I graduated in 2009 from the Department of Civil Engineering (English Program) at Istanbul Kültür University (IKU). As someone who has been a part of the Kültür Family since primary school, I can easily say that this place feels like a second home to me. During my university years, there were courses I attended with joy and excitement, and others I dragged my feet to. Now I understand more clearly that the compass guiding me toward the field I wanted to specialize in was, in fact, the whispers of those courses that either attracted or repelled me.
After graduating, I began a master’s degree in Transport Engineering at Istanbul Technical University and, after completing my studies, I was involved in establishing the Business Development Department at an engineering firm.

I am currently working at Doğuş İnşaat in the Tender Department as a Senior Prequalification Specialist. The exciting aspect of tenders and prequalification is that you see the opportunities at first glance and start preparing dynamically.

Instead of ending this with a recommendation or suggestion, I would like to conclude with the Kültür College March that we were taught in primary school. (Its melody is still in my memory years later. 😊)

The torch of light you have acquired in Kültür
Is the most knowledgeable guide illuminating your path in your life story.
 
Inspired by Atatürk, we were born into this land like the sun
Our heads held high, our foreheads clear
We are young, we are fiery
We are united students
We are one, beating as one heart
We are your future
Our homeland will rise with us
We are on the path of knowledge and wisdom
Moving forward without pause
To dispel the darkness
Knowledge is our torch
Kültür College is our torch
