This year, the Turkish Language and Literature Department mourns the loss of three retired teachers who each devoted years of meaningful service to their school. Nuray Çiloğlu is remembered with deep appreciation for her lasting contributions to generations of students.
Nuray Hoca served for 20 years from 1987 to 2007 as a Turkish Language and Literature teacher at Robert College, teaching both middle school and preparatory classes. She was deeply committed to her students and took great care in shaping her classroom environment. Each classroom she taught in became a distinctive space dedicated to language and literature—an experience her students will continue to remember.
She consistently took on responsibilities during holidays, commemorations, and school events, fulfilling each role with diligence and care.
After leaving Robert College, she settled in Eski Foça, İzmir, where she continued to lead a rich and fulfilling life. Together with her husband, Altan Bey—a painter and master of illumination—they cultivated a vibrant artistic and literary environment.
She will be remembered with gratitude, respect, and affection. May she rest in peace.
