Highlighting that being a graduate of Marmara University is a privilege, Kurt stated that this sense of belonging constitutes a strong identity carried throughout life. “Today, you are not only completing an academic journey but also stepping into a lifelong identity. Always take pride in being a ‘Marmaralı,’ a graduate of ‘Marmara Theology,’ and never lose your connection with your university,” he said.
