Bilkent wouldn’t ever have been what it is and where it is today, had it not been the hard work, dedication and a warm welcoming smile of these student coordinators. One of the four pillars of Humans of Bilkent is most definitely the student coordinators that are more than willing to help all the students 24*7.

THE MOST DEDICATED WORKERS OF BILKENT:
At times, the people with the lower levels of jobs or the ploretariat as Karl Marx would call them, may turn out to be the most eminent of all. For what would you eat had there been no staff at Bilka or Marmara to cook food for you and serve you with it or where would you live had there been no dormitory managers or the cleaning ladies to provide you with all the luxuries of clean and hygienic rooms and bathrooms. Likewise, would you still be lucky enough to receive the free transportation/bus services every 20 minutes within campus and every hour to and from the campus had it not been for the extremely dedicated bus drivers. These people deserve sound recognition and applause for the services they provide to everyone in Bilkent. They deserve to be known and respected rather than looked upon merely as a worker. HOB appreciates, loves and respects these people and considers them to be one of the four pillars of Humans of Bilkent, thus, it is aiming to bring light to these people’s stories and convey what they have to say to all of you.
