Our Faculty Students at Rookie Camp!

Organized for the 16th time this year by the Advertising Foundation, Rookie Camp is preparing to bring young industry talent together with field experts at Beykoz Kundura. Over four days, students will work in teams on a brief from a real brand and gain hands-on experience through training from industry veterans. On the final day, the team that receives the highest vote from the jury will win the "All Star" title, while all participants who successfully complete the camp will earn an Advertising Foundation-approved certificate.

Our university achieved significant success by ranking 3rd nationwide among universities sending the most students to the camp. The largest share in this achievement belongs to the Idea and Advertising Society (FİKRET). Represented by 4 students at the "Rookie Discovery" held last June, FİKRET doubled its accepted applicants to 8 this time despite a tough elimination process and limited capacity. With this result, the "Black Cats" successfully put both their society and our faculty in the spotlight.

We congratulate our Faculty of Communication students from the Public Relations and Advertising Department—Yeliz Altınsoy, Nursu Norcu, Elanur Demir, Seçil Yılmaz, Meryem Öncel, Dilek Özdemir, and Şevval Ece Erder—along with New Media and Communication Department student Ecrin Nisa Eryiğit, for qualifying to participate, and we wish them full success throughout the Rookie Camp marathon.
