Merve Dizdar, who graduated from the COMU Acting Department in 2008, received the Best Actress award at the 79th Cannes Film Festival. Dizdar, who won the award for Nuri Bilge Ceylan's film "About Dry Grasses", became the first Turkish actress to win this award. In 2017, our graduate, who also won the Best Actress award at the Afife Jale Theater Awards, continues to make her faculty and the Department of Theater proud. We congratulate Merve Dizdar on her proud and happy achievements.
