Graduate Monitoring Commission

HACETTEPE UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF HEALTH SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF NUTRITION AND DIETETICS MEZUN MONITORING COMMISSION

We established the “Graduate Monitoring Committee to communicate more effectively with all graduates of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Hacettepe University, to analyze the situation after graduation, to plan activity for faculty and department membership and to establish a strong bond between us.

One of the aims of this commission is to determine the thoughts of the graduates of our department after graduation, the problems they face after graduation, faculty / department opportunities in their education processes and their curriculum.

After graduation, it is a common opinion that the connections between the graduates and universities have been lost and the studies that should be done in order to maintain the connections have been neglected. Many university graduates communicate with their graduates through monitoring systems in order to conduct monitoring and evaluation of graduates' professional lives, academic studies, qualifications gained from the university or education they think they can not get from the university, general satisfaction, and corporate belonging. Furthermore, it is stated that being in contact with the graduates' monitoring committee is an important need in the context of today's global climate of work and social life.

In this way, we think that our graduates will be aware of the educational or social activities developed by our department and will have the opportunity to participate in university life again.
