Koç University | İstanbul, Türkiye | Advancing SDG 4 & UNAI 5
" If someone doesn't have access to educational opportunities or resources to hone their potential, the world should not be devoid of innovative and creative minds. As someone who has personally experienced the lack of access to quality education in the past, I desire to impact people's lives, specifically those who can't acquire quality education. Millennium Fellowship is undoubtedly a significant step toward realizing my potential as a changemaker. I eagerly look forward to becoming a part of the Millennium Fellowship community and collaborating with other Fellows to make a meaningful difference. "
