SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION
Management of Social Contribution Processes and Social Contribution Resources
Social contribution activities, defined as "sustainable activities that aim to share knowledge in education, research, cultural, artistic, social, athletic, and environmental areas with all segments of society, to develop a sense of social responsibility, and to protect the public interest, excluding activities carried out in the academic and administrative units of other universities with institutional identity," are among Mersin University's priority areas. Indeed, the Mersin University Social Contribution Coordination Office was established to actively monitor this process and effectively implement continuous improvement efforts. The Coordination Office informed all units about the issue through an official letter.
Based on this letter, the phrase "Carrying out education and activities for the community" was added to quality objective number 5 within the scope of the 2025 Quality Goals and Action Plan of the Vocational School of Health Services. The activities to be undertaken until December 1, 2025, within the scope of this goal are as follows:
1. Conducting a waste collection event on the beach to increase environmental awareness among students studying at Refreshment University and associate degree programs.
2. Each program at the Vocational School of Health and Social Services will organize at least one community-based event (Respect for the Elderly Week event, addiction education for high school students, book collection campaign and village school visit, biological effects of electromagnetic fields in middle schools, first aid training for BİLSEM students, etc.).
Activities undertaken until August 30, 2025, to meet the stated goals:
Our activities are ongoing. The final report will be released in December 2025.
