About İAÜ PR Workshop
İAÜ PR Workshop was established in the 2016-2017 academic year under the guidance of the Head of the Public Relations and Promotion Department, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Deniz Akbulut. The aim of the workshop is to provide students with the opportunity to combine the theoretical knowledge they learn in courses with practical application, and to increase the preference rate of Istanbul Aydın University graduates in the public relations sector. Additionally, it aims to implement strategic public relations practices with faculty members and students, and contribute to strengthening the collaboration between students and individuals or organizations in the public relations sector.
İAÜ PR Workshop consists of five departments: Event Coordination, Social Media Coordination, Copywriting Coordination, Creative Coordination, and the PR Workshop Magazine Team. Each of these departments is led by a student coordinator, and two Workshop Coordinators are responsible for managing the entire workshop. Workshop members actively work in the workshop office located on the 4th floor of the R Block. Regular news, articles, and interviews are published by students on the workshop's website and blog. Additionally, events, announcements, sector-related news, etc., are regularly shared through social media accounts. In these events, students from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years participate as volunteers.
İAÜ PR Workshop organizes a series of events called "Public Relations and Promotion Students Meet the Sector" to bring students together with sector professionals. The workshop also hosts various sector professionals during workshops and in-class activities.
İAÜ PR Workshop carried out "Mesleğimin Farkında Ol" (Aware of My Profession), the first career awareness project in Turkey led by students. Through their blog and social media accounts, students called on the public with the slogan "Mesleğimin Farkında Ol".
Through the projects they have carried out, the students have won several awards, including second place in the 28th Young Communicators Competition organized by the Aydın Doğan Foundation, three consecutive first-place awards in the IDA Academy Awards in 2020, 2022, and 2024, and two consecutive second-place awards in the Young Communicators Category of the Golden Compass Turkey Public Relations Awards in 2023 and 2024.
