A mother who helped her blind daughter graduate from law school by attending every class and reading textbooks aloud for four years was awarded an honorary law degree in recognition of her extraordinary dedication.
In July 2018, Sakarya University awarded an honorary law degree to Havva Kul alongside her visually impaired daughter, Berru Merve Kul, during the school’s graduation ceremony. With limited access to Braille textbooks and audio learning resources, Havva became her daughter’s primary source of academic support throughout law school.
For four years, she accompanied Berru to every class, took notes, and helped her keep up with coursework requirements. At home, she spent countless hours reading law textbooks, case studies, and legal codes aloud so her daughter could prepare for exams. In recognition of her extraordinary dedication, Faculty Dean Professor Mahmut Bilen invited Havva to the stage and presented her with a special degree certificate, earning a standing ovation from the audience.
It’s been one week since Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in Minnesota. We must ensure this never happens again.
