SUMMARY:Art Exhibit - love letters: a unique alphabet by hatice örün
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 4\, 2023 \n2:00 – 4:00 pm Prof Hatice Örün “Love Letters” Exhibit \nWe are pleased to announce a unique art exhibit at STCCC: \nlove letters: a unique alphabet by hatice örün \n“I want to make you a unique alphabet.” This opening line of a love poem by Nizar Qabbani intrigued me for many years. What would I put in it if I wanted to make an alphabet? I started collecting word stories\, learning scripts\, making designs and mapping them to my personal and professional landscape. During the first year of pandemic\, I assembled them using the form of “elifname” as a guide. Sprouting from Hieroglyphics all the way to Turkish\, this is my Alphabet\, these are my love letters to all those who taught me.” \nHatice Örün is a native of Istanbul\, Türkiye and has lived in Raleigh since 1983.  She is a graduate of Bosphorus University (Istanbul) BS’81\, Michigan Technological University MS’83 and North Carolina State University Ph.D’91. All her degrees are in Electrical Engineering.  She started her academic career in the teaching track of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at NCSU.  In 2004\, she also started working in the new NCSU/UNC-CH Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering.  For the next ten years\, she worked with her colleagues and university administrators to create a joint undergraduate Biomedical Engineering program between the two universities. In 2018\, she became full-time in the BME department and enjoyed the last two years of her career teaching UNC-CH students. \nShe is a co-editor of the book Women in Science and Technology (Routledge 2008). Ekmek ve Takvim\,  her first book of poems in Turkish was published in 2012. \n Brief presentation by Dr. Hatice Örün followed by opening reception will be held at STCCC on Saturday\, March 4th between 2:00-4:00 pm. \n The exhibit will be available to view until Sunday\, April 2nd. \n Please follow the link below to register with suggested $10 donation. \nEvent Registration – Sancar Turkish Center \n Looking forward to seeing you at this most unique “love letters” exhibit by Hatice Örün. \nTurkish Coffee/Tea and light dessert will be served. \nAhmet Çalık Great Hall and Kitchen are reserved for this event.

SUMMARY:Tragedy in Türkiye - Learn more about how you can help and what’s at stake.
DESCRIPTION:TRAGEDY IN TÜRKİYE \nThe twin earthquakes in Türkiye (formerly Turkey) have likely killed tens of thousands and left many more missing. International relief agencies are assisting Turkish rescue workers\, and governments have pledged assistance. Thousands of destroyed homes have left cities and villages without shelter for families in the frigid winter. \nWant to learn more about how you can help and what’s at stake? \nJoin us on Sunday\, Feb 12\, at 4pm at the Sancar Turkish Cultural and Community Center (STCCC)\, 1609 E Franklin St\, Chapel Hill. \nHear from: \n\nAmbassador Robert Pearson\, former US Ambassador to Türkiye\, speak about US-Turkish relations and a history of helping one another.\nProf. Kathryn Morgan\, Duke University archaeologist and co-director of the Zincirli dig\, eight miles from the epicenter. Zincirli contains the remains of the ancient walled city of Sam’al\, capital of an Iron Age kingdom that flourished from around 900 to 700 BCE. The adjacent village was flattened by the quake and little help has yet to arrive. The first Christian church at Antioch is also in the affected area.\nProf. Kate Grossman\, NCSU\, has been researching civilizational sites in NW Syria and will share cultural aspects and importance of the affected area.\nBridge to Türkiye Fund (BTF)\, a North Carolina non-profit established 20 years ago to assist the recovery after earthquakes left 17\,000 dead in Türkiye. Since Feb 6\, 2023\, BTF has raised over $2 million with 100 percent transferred to Turkish relief agencies.\n\nSpeakers are available to address questions and concerns from attendees who would like to learn more about how to help the aid and recovery efforts. \nThank you to UNC Professors Aziz and Gwen Sancar for hosting the event. Professor Aziz Sancar was the corecipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. \nTurkish refreshments will be provided. Donations via BTF encouraged. \nPOC: Doug and Can Dickerson\, doug.dickerson@alumni.duke.edu\nKate Morgan\, kathryn.morgan@duke.edu \nAhmet Çalık Great Hall and Kitchen are reserved for this event.
