With a sustained commitment to giving back, the İnal family has established a range of initiatives at Robert College, from endowments to scholarships, and has most recently established a graduation award, marking a further step in their support across generations.
The İnal family’s relationship with Robert College reflects a continuity of memory, values, and responsibility. Across three generations, Kenan İnal RC 21, Ahmet İnal RC ENG 61, and Oya İnal RC 85, this connection extends beyond a shared education to an enduring bond with the institution that helped shape who they are today.
That connection finds expression in two İnal Family Endowments, a Centennial Scholarship, and the İnal Family Award presented at graduation. Together, these contributions open doors for students to learn, grow, and imagine new possibilities.
Each year, these opportunities take on new life in the students they support. Each path is different, each story unique – yet behind them stands a quiet continuity: a belief that what is received here is meant to be carried forward.
This understanding has shaped the family’s relationship with Robert College over time. For them, this commitment is both collective and deeply personal. Ahmet İnal’s past leadership as RCAAA President reflects a long-standing dedication to the alumni community. Oya İnal, as a Class Agent and member of the RC Community Entrepreneurs Bond Founders Council, continues to strengthen ties between classmates and the school. That sense of engagement traces back to 1921 with Kenan İnal and extends naturally to the fourth generation, with Sinan Gölhan supporting Robert College as a member of the Validators Circle within the same initiative.
These efforts reflect not a single gesture, but a sustained presence, a way of ReConnecting across time. In that continuity lies something enduring: a quiet affirmation of what Robert College makes possible, and of the many ways this legacy continues beyond it.
