Pakize Beyza Kuru

My name is Pakize Beyza Kuru. I am twenty-three years old. I am a third-year international relations student. I am deeply interested in academic field, especially social studies. I try to explore new fields of study and develop myself in those areas. Sport is also an area where many societies intersect in social, cultural, and political terms. In addition, I believe that we can further improve ourselves and our work through teamwork. Therefore, I am very excited about what we will achieve and experience through the METU Korean Studies Study Group Student Club and under the leadership of Dr. Dongkyu Na.
