The UNC campus newspaper, the Daily Tar Heel, has published an article on the establishment of a new Turkish Community Center in Chapel Hill.
A new Turkish Cultural and Community Center, funded in part by Noble Prize winner Aziz Sancar’s foundation, will create interactions between American students at UNC and Turkish students when it opens in spring of 2019.
Gwen Sancar, president of the Aziz and Gwen Sancar Foundation, said Chapel Hill needs the center to help bring Turkey’s culture to Americans.
Professor Didem Havlioglu of our department is quoted in the article.
