Orientation Program Held for First-Year Students of the Department of Finance and Banking

On September 17, 2026, at 13:30, the Department of Finance and Banking at the Çankırı Karatekin University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences held an orientation program in the Faculty’s Red Hall to assist incoming first-year students in adapting to university and departmental life.

As part of the program, students were provided with information about the library, the Department of Health, Culture, and Sports, the cafeteria, and other university units available to them, all aimed at facilitating their adjustment to university life and ensuring they could effectively utilize the opportunities offered by the university.

Information was also provided regarding student clubs that contribute to students' social and cultural development; the importance of active participation in social and cultural aspects of university life -alongside academic studies- was emphasized.

A briefing on the "7+1" education model offered by the department covered the practical application process, designed to supplement students' theoretical education with industry experience, as well as the benefits the system provides to students.

Other key topics of the program included combating addiction and ensuring financial security. Students were made aware of the types of addiction and ways to prevent them; additionally, they were educated on the risks associated with allowing third parties to use their bank accounts, bank cards, and financial account details—an issue that poses a significant risk in today's environment. The importance of securely safeguarding personal and financial information was emphasized to help students protect themselves against potential legal and financial risks. The orientation program aimed to familiarize our students with Çankırı Karatekin University and the Department of Finance and Banking, enable them to effectively utilize the academic, social, and administrative opportunities offered by the university, and ensure they make an informed start to their university lives.

As the Department of Finance and Banking, we wish all our first-year students success in their university journey and hope for a productive and successful educational experience where they can develop both academically and socially.
