As Sabancı University celebrates its 25th anniversary, we sat down with Prof. Dr. Oğuz Babüroğlu, who has been involved in almost every step of the university's development since its founding. In his words, Sabancı University was conceived "more than an institution, it was a way of thinking and learning together." In this interview, we discussed not only the history of a university but also how a future is envisioned, fostered, and reimagined.
