University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

This book is a great achievement by Penn State graduate student Bulent Tarman. Graduate students like Bulent Tarman come to Penn State from all over the world to educate themselves, and most of them return home to solve the problems of their countries with the knowledge and skills they gained at Penn State. Bulent Tarman started to help his country even before he returned. During his Ph.D. program, he studied the modernization of the Turkish education system on the path to the European Union and published a book to encourage others in this field. I strongly feel that the education students receive at Penn State makes them great problem solvers where ever they might be in the world. To see the success of students like Bulent Tarman makes me, and many other faculty members at Penn State, very happy and proud.
