Selen Yıldırım, Information Systems Engineering, Binghamton University-ITU'24
In May 2024, I proudly graduated with dual degrees from Istanbul Technical University and SUNY Binghamton University, earning my degree with second honors! I completed my studies in Information Systems Engineering at Istanbul Technical University and Computer Science at Binghamton University, both of which have been incredibly rewarding and challenging.
Studying at two prestigious universities in both Istanbul and New York has been a life-changing experience, not only academically but also personally. This journey was about pushing my limits, developing new skills, and adapting to different cultures. I gained invaluable insights, learned to think critically from multiple perspectives, and developed a global mindset that will undoubtedly shape my career.
I’m deeply grateful to my professors, family, and friends who have supported me throughout this journey. This graduation is not just about earning two degrees, but about one of the most enriching and defining experiences of my life.
As I move forward into my career, I feel empowered and excited to take on new challenges, knowing that the knowledge and skills I’ve gained will guide me toward success. Here’s to new beginnings!
