A number of my graduate students have been extremely successful in their careers. Many of my Turkish graduate students have become lecturers and senior lecturers in major Turkish universities, while others, especially those from the Balkans have climbed up the ladder fast, such as the deputy prime minister of Kosovo, head of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo and the Ambassador of Kosovo. One other student of mine in Albania was minister of justice and then he became minister of foreign affairs for some time.
