Today, we will dress the uniforms of our students who will start the new academic year with you. Uniforms are very valuable for me, especially the white uniform, in my opinion, is an indicator of professional ethics and ethics. We consider it our duty to instil this in our students already."

In fact, today is a day when our students, beyond being a student, take the first steps towards becoming a professional chef. I wish all our cookery students the chance to work with people and institutions where they will be rewarded for their efforts and the strength and faith to 'not give up' on this day, which is the first step to show their potential. Our belief and trust in you is endless. Anyway, this department is an award-winning department, thanks to them, a department that accustomed us to trophies and medals. I would like to thank Kamuran teacher, Başak teacher, Uğurcan teacher and our cookery programme students."

They are standing upright, they are here and we trust them very much. This youth goes and collects all the awards, comes first in many competitions in Turkey and abroad, and graduates as a graduated person. As Toros University and other universities, we have three different tasks. One of them is education. You will graduate, you will finish the education side, then we have R&D activities apart from the education side, our lecturer Uğurcan Metin has many patent applications, we have students with patent applications. We also have a community service side. On the community service side, we touch people through TORSEM, that is, we touch the society. 2 years ago we gave 286 certificates, the previous year we gave approximately 2800 certificates, last year we gave 2500 certificates, this year the number of certificates we have given so far is around 4180. Therefore, we have touched 4180 people. Our number of patent applications this year is 38, 20 patent applications are also coming, numerically speaking, it is in the top 10 in Turkey.

Our friends are in safe hands, they are doing good work; they come first in competitions. Our students of the cookery department come first in competitions thanks to our valuable chefs, and I thank them very much, thank you very much. I eat the food they cook at least once a week, and they are all healthy."
