Sekiz başarılı hizmet yılını geride bırakan Üniversitemiz, genç yaşına rağmen, Türk Yüksek Öğretimi içerisinde, her açıdan, gurur ve övünç duyacağımız bir konuma gelmiştir. İnancımız odur ki, büyük çapta yüksek öğrenim açığı bulunan ülkemizde, İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, yüksek öğretimin her kademesinde altı bini aşkın öğrencisiyle çok önemli bir misyon üstlenmiştir.

IUE Rector Attila Sezgin made the opening speech after homage and National Anthem and summarized the distance covered in 8 years. Prof. Dr. Sezgin reminded that IUE was founded eight years ago with the Law published in Official Gazette dated April 14, 2001, numbered 4633 and said, “The founder of our university is Izmir Chamber of Commerce Health and Education Foundation. The farsighted, visionary directors of İzmir Chamber of Commerce took the initiative for the foundation to establish such a university. Our university doubtlessly is the work of the precious directors of İzmir Chamber of Commerce who put their energy for their dreams. 8 years have passed after the foundation of our university. However, I want to state that the members of our university always feel gratitude, admiration, and thankfulness for İzmir Chamber of Commerce Directors. Our University that left eight years behind has a place we are proud of in every aspect. We believe that İzmir University of Economics has a very important mission in our country that has a big education deficit with its six thousand students in all levels of higher education. The number of our students in various levels of higher education has become 6.032 in 2008-2009 academic year. In my opinion, even this number is enough to show the importance and enormity of our university's mission in Turkey with a structural higher education deficit.”
