There are many WOW4WOS celebrations to share!
Elif Bengu, 2009 PhD graduate from the University of Cincinnati, shares:
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity for being part of the WoW. Also, thank you for the your kind gift. I met with wonderful people through this event and looking forward to next year’s meeting. Yesterday, I hooded as doctor in education. I hope that next year I will be attending to the WoW dinner as a working professional.

The Story of Malinche
Dear Evelyn,
First I want to thank you for being the Founder of this amazing group of extraordinary women, and then to say how incredibly honored I was to be given the opportunity to speak to the group gathered at the lovely Red Carpet Gala in LA.
“The True Story of Malinche” was published this year in Uruguay by Random House Mondadori and while I was at the NAFSA Conference I learned Random House Mondadori will also publish it in Mexico in September. I am trying to get RHM in the U.S. to agree to publish the English version – believe it or not, it won’t be easy but as you might suspect as a woman I do not easily shy away from challenges.
For the time being, and for anyone out there who can read the book in Spanish, what follows is the link to RHM Uruguay where my book is posted: http://www.rhm.com.uy/fichalibro/?isbn=9789974683037
Below is the cover spread and a link to the English translation of the back cover for the wow4wos.
All the best,
