From Dith Pamp—It was so great to see so many responses to my call for updates! It seems like many folks from our class are doing amazing things. I am living in Portland, Ore., recently finished my master’s from Oregon State University, and am working for my alma mater, Lewis & Clark College. Kayla DeVincentis lives in Boston and is a project manager at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Cambridge, Mass., and began her M.B.A. in health-sector management at Boston University. Dina Eldib works as a patent attorney in Cairo, Egypt. She married Farouk Tatanaki in April 2014 in the United Arab Emirates. Caroline Henderson says, “I’m in San Francisco, where I’ve been for three years, and am starting my own consulting practice in online campaigning. I’ve also started volunteering with Girls, Inc., and am planning to split my time between consulting and working with adolescent girls. I’ve also been dancing and singing a lot…I wrote and recorded my first song this fall, and I had my first performance. I’ve been taking a Beyoncé choreography dance class and got to learn “Run the World” from one of her choreographers.” After graduating from Howard University in 2011, Amani Kancey has served President Obama in his administration.
