Responsibilities of Leadership
By Umut Yün
CIP is one of the most unique specialties of RC. So being the leader of such an important thing requires some
responsibilities and time. If you want your CV to look better and have some responsibility in the future, you should
look at this article.
Your CIP story starts with applying to CIP Office with your project and experience and teacher opinions of your
previous projects. Your application has to include your aims and details of the project. And then you have to wait for
your application to be approved. After CIP Office’s approval, you have to be in touch with your group members and
arrange appointments. At those appointments, a CIP leader has all the responsibility. S/He has to take attendance
and report all the absent students. Also they have to attend to arrangements of CIP coordinators. But as told, the
hardest part is to find funds for CIP. If a leader wants to compromise a sponsorship deal, they first have to state it to
CIP Office. Also as we may see around school, a leader can organize his group to sell old books or clothes or cakes
and cookies. So it is leader and his group’s responsibility to find funds. Also a CIP leader has to find the transportation needs. These are just CIP leaders’ responsibilities before the project.
At project time, CIP leaders have to keep team together either at work hours or free time. They also need to
make sure team doesn’t do anything against the school rules. Also they have to be ready to solve any kind of problems, if happened. Also they have to make sure every member of group wrote their diaries daily. Further, they have
to be in touch with group supervisors in a respectful way that are chosen from teachers. So being a CIP leader is a
big honor and a responsibility. You are the one who decides whether it is worth it or not.

There are lots of projects going on which corrupt natural
life in Istanbul like “The third bridge” and “The third
airport.”
“The Northern Marmara highway, which will be built to
connect to Istanbul’s third bridge, will not only lead to the

A
“Hürriyet Daily News” writer says, “it’s not only the nature
that we’re losing it’s also the history of this ancient city.
There are five historical sites which are considered ‘first
degree archaeological sites’.” Archaeologists say that
they should stop constructing the highway that connects
the roads to the third bridge, and start digging the archae-
