<p>This study examines the post-earthquake social contribution of two public universities in Türkiye—Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University and İnönü University—after the 6 February 2023 earthquakes. Using a structured comparative case-study design, it analyzes 137 coded events drawn from official university announcements and institutional reports covering the period from 6 February 2023 to 6 February 2025. The analysis focuses on three dimensions: contribution domains, institutional capacities, and governance ties. The findings show that both universities displayed broad contribution profiles rather than concentrating on a single area. Contribution also changed over time, with immediate needs more visible in the response phase, psychosocial support becoming more prominent in early recovery, and disaster awareness gaining greater visibility in recovery. The findings further suggest that crisis-time social contribution was enabled through organizational capacities and external coordination rather than through a single common model. At the same time, aggregate statistical results indicate only limited separation between the two universities in either primary contribution domains or primary institutional support capacities. Overall, the study shows that disaster settings make university social contribution more empirically visible and more analytically traceable as an organizationally mediated form of public contribution.</p>
