Our Faculty of Health Sciences Nursing Department students organized a large-scale event on November 7, 2025, within the scope of the Nursing Education course, to raise awareness about leukemia.
Under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pınar DURU, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hamide ZENGİN, Res. Asst. Şadiye ÖZTÜRK, Res. Asst. Ayşenur KARAKUŞ, Res. Asst. Asiye Nur ULUSOY, and Res. Asst. İsmail AYKANAT, the students set up stands at eight different locations across the university, drawing attention to leukemia among students and staff.
As part of the event:
-
Orange ribbons were distributed as a symbol of awareness,
-
Informative materials about leukemia were shared,
-
Visitors expressed their thoughts and feelings on a white fabric panel,
-
Interactive conversations were held throughout the day, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis, awareness, and emotional support.
The stands were open all day at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Faculty of Engineering (M2 and M3 Blocks), Faculty of Theology, School of Foreign Languages, and the Faculty of Science.
The event served as a meaningful example of how nursing students combine their professional knowledge and skills with a spirit of community service. Participants stated that the activity not only increased their knowledge about leukemia but also emphasized the importance of raising awareness.
