Thousands of miles away from the land we call home, yet our hearts beat with the same fire that ignited on May 19th,1919 🇹🇷

For the 8th time, we took to the streets, not just as a community but as living proof that Atatürk’s vision knows no borders!

Thank you to everyone who walked with us, stood with us and celebrated with us! Atatürk entrusted this nation to its youth and moments like today prove that trust was never misplaced ❤️🇹🇷

We had the pleasure of attending the TPF Innovation and Social Impact Summit, bringing together leaders across AI, science, business and the arts to explore the future of responsible innovation.

As NETSA, our Secretary Bensu Mercan, also a TPF Changemaker Scholar, along with Advisory Board members, were proud to be part of this inspiring event.

We thank the organizers for hosting such a powerful platform and look forward to continuing these important conversations.

A look back at Boston Talks ; a day defined by insightful conversations, meaningful connections and a shared drive to learn and grow!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making this experience so impactful. As NETSA, we’re excited to continue building spaces that bring our community together.

More to come 🚀

Our President, Murat Kerem Ersin, had the opportunity to represent NETSA in meetings with Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-6) and Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-17) in Boston.

During these engagements, he shared the perspectives of Turkish American students and young professionals, highlighting their academic achievements, professional growth, and increasing civic engagement. These conversations play an important role in ensuring that the voices of our community are recognized and supported.

At NETSA, we remain committed to building bridges between students, professionals, and leaders across different sectors, while creating meaningful opportunities for the next generation.

Proud to see our community represented at the national level.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of hosting Boston Talks at MIT in collaboration with .tsa bringing together an exceptional community of students, professionals and thought leaders.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our distinguished speakers for generously sharing their knowledge, experiences and perspectives across a wide range of fields.
Their contributions made this event truly insightful and impactful. We also thank everyone who joined us and helped create such an engaging, dynamic and intellectually enriching environment.

As NETSA, witnessing our community come together in this way is both inspiring and deeply meaningful. It reinforces our commitment to creating platforms that foster dialogue, encourage collaboration, and support the exchange of ideas.

Events like Boston Talks continue to motivate us to do more, build more, and contribute further to our community’s growth and impact. We are grateful for the strong interest and participation and we look forward to continuing to create opportunities that bring people together around innovation, learning and shared purpose.
