RISE is a strategic initiative developed by the School of Foreign Languages (SFL) at Istanbul Kültür University to support the academic, professional, and emotional wellbeing of both instructors and students. Rooted in the principles of reflection, inspiration, support and excellence, RISE offers a structured framework that aligns institutional needs with personal development.
RISE is built around the understanding that successful learning environments depend equally on empowered teachers and supported learners. The initiative provides ongoing opportunities for development, communication, and connection throughout the academic year.
RISE Is Built Around Two Pillars
RISE Instructor Pathway
Focused on orientation, mentoring, professional development, classroom practice support, and wellbeing.
RISE Student Pathway
