Our Rector Prof. Dr. Mutlu Türkmen, who has played an important role in the institutionalisation and international success of bocce, bowling and darts in our country with his vision projects in sports management, announced his candidacy for the 6th Ordinary General Assembly of the Turkish University Sports Federation (TUSF) to be held on 4 November with the title ‘From Sports Academy Experience to Academy Sports Vision’. Stating that he set off towards a new and broad target horizon with the support of many rectors, deans and academicians from the higher education and sports community, our Rector Türkmen informed the public that he resigned from his duty as the President of the Turkish Bocce, Bowling and Darts Federation (TBBDF) due to his candidacy.
