CAS Students Visit Alzheimer’s Society
The video where TAC’s CAS students shared their visits to the Alzheimer's Association was a great way of sharing with the school community the stories by the residents about the hardships encountered by their fathers back in the day when the Turkish Republic was being established. Anecdotes such as their having served in the military for 17 years were a powerful reminder of these challenging times.
