Yeditepe University provides its employees and students with healthy nutrition & diet services and seminars on healthy eating led by in-house dietitians. The institution aims to promote the complete well-being of its students and staff. Each individual's eating habits and nutritional needs are unique. Therefore, healthy nutrition programs should always be personalized. Diet plans are created under dietitians' guidance, considering factors such as age, gender, body weight, type of physical activity, blood parameters, family history, living environment, and surrounding conditions that influence individual needs. Adopting a healthy eating habit and creating a sustainable nutrition program suited to one's lifestyle is only possible with the guidance of a certified nutrition expert. The common goal of the Yeditepe University Nutrition and Diet Unit dietitians is to support our students in developing sustainable, healthy eating habits. At Yeditepe University Alumni Relations Office, we work in collaboration with YUMED to enhance our alumni's connection with the university, contribute to our student's development towards their career goals, sustain the culture of Yeditepe University, and continue and strengthen the solidarity within the Yeditepe Family through events tailored for our alumni. Our university's alumni office assists our graduates with their careers, establishes professional connections, and maintains their ties with the university. We keep track of our alumni, communicate with them, and take pride in their achievements. Our Vision: In line with the vision of Yeditepe University and aware of the competencies of the new century, our goal is to create a continuous, development-focused communication and collaboration environment with students and graduates who plan their individual, academic, and professional development by these competencies. Our Mission: From the first day of university, our mission is to support all our students and ALUMNI in their career development processes, to be their solution partner through various career activities and training aimed at enhancing their competencies for professional life, and to establish a value-creating communication network and strengthen social ties by bringing together our ALUMNI and students. Career Development is continuous and contextual within the economic, social, cultural, technological, political, global, and historical changes. Indeed, career development is dynamic, interactive, contextual, relational, and often unpredictable (Niles and Harris-Bowlsbey, 2021; trans. Korkut-Owen). Due to these characteristics of the career phenomenon, from the first day of university life, we not only provide career center services for all our students experiencing the exploration stage of career structuring and all our graduates who anticipate a job/profession/career change and need guidance, but we also create a living space where we learn and grow together by bringing together all students and ALUMNI of our ever-growing family through different activities.
