In this globalizing world, our main goal is to support college women to get high awareness, sensitiveness, respect to different values, to develope themselves in academic and social areas.

Social responsibility club is the most prominent of all. With projects carried out by large segments of society, has contributed to human values in community.
With the "Reading Festival" , the university students are aimed to gain reading habits, contributing them to have conscious, to get intellectual point of view and become the individuals that have high perception power.
By the social responsibility projects like, "Our brothers are chills" and "Burning Hearts Not Mine" taking our conscience as pioneer , victims of mine disaster and the Van earthquake we have had to bring spiritual support and various aids. We also provide organizations with institutions engaged in this work.

With this project, not only as a citizen of Turkey, but also as a citizen of the world, we intend struggle against human’s thirst by opening water wells in Africa. Apart from our country, those people have different languages, religions, colors and race, have achieved the support just for the sake of humanity .
