On January 14, 2025, the Independent Learning Center hosted a Coffee Talk session titled “Mindfulness for Exam Stress.” 

During the event, Psychologist Gülce Tuncel—currently pursuing a master’s degree in Psychology at İzmir Katip Çelebi University—introduced participants to the basics of mindfulness and demonstrated practical techniques to cope with exam-related anxiety. 

The session, which was open to all levels, highlighted the importance of self-awareness, relaxation, and mindful habits, especially during stressful study periods.
