Murat Otoglu is an outstanding educator. He served as an Adjunct lecturer of Psychology at Bronx Community College, the City University of New York where I observed his teaching. His lectures were well planned, organized, and executed. Murat Otoglu has a unique theoretical perspective that captivates his audience. He integrates materials effectively and elaborates on conceptual understanding of psychology phenomena that is distinct and profound. His treatment of process and contrasting conceptual perspectives propel a Humanists orientation critical for this decade of change.

We began working together with Murat Otoglu at the start of the Fall 2017 semester. One spends more time with an office mate than with family members at home—talking, observing, sharing, listening, and learning from one another. Even after Murat moved to our new building at the end of our four years together, we never lost contact.

Murat is a highly valuable colleague who has the capacity to deliver a wide range of training programs. He is disciplined and, impressively, approaches each session with the enthusiasm of someone presenting it for the very first time. He is always willing to dedicate significant time to students seeking his input—often going above and beyond what they ask for. He has consistently been loved by students who are eager to learn.
I’m truly glad that we’ve had the opportunity to collaborate again through the trainings he has developed.
