The emblem of the University was designed in 1967 by Dr. Yücel Tanyeri, then a second year medical student, in the likeness of a stag â€" the symbol of a Hittite deity discovered at the royal tombs in Alacahöyük. Inspired by this archeological symbol common to the region, the Stag was chosen as the symbol of the University, and was abstracted to represent a lowercase "h" â€" the first letter of the university's name.[1]
