Southwest Airlines and the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities Open Travel Program for College Students
Southwest Airlines, in conjunction with the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), announced today the opening of "Dandole Alas a Tu Exito/Giving Flight to Your Success," its annual education travel award program. Online applications will be accepted through April 30, 2010, at www.hacu.net. A panel of judges comprised of college professors and education advocates from coast to coast will gather this summer to select students who will receive free travel to their colleges and universities.
Each student is eligible to receive between one and four tickets for use by the student or immediate family to travel to/from a college or university. The tickets are awarded to undergraduate and graduate Hispanic students with socio-economic needs who journey away from home to pursue higher education. All of the participants must submit an essay explaining why they deserve the travel award and what inspires them to pursue a college degree. To view the criteria for the 2010 award program, please visit: http://www.hacu.net/images/hacu/development/Lanzate/2010Criteria.pdf
"HACU's partnership with Southwest Airlines Lanzate Award has provided hundreds of students with travel over the past six years," said Antonio R. Flores, HACU President and CEO. "For students who left home to pursue a higher education, a visit with family often is the tipping point for success. HACU is proud to partner with Southwest Airlines to help so many students on their educational journey."
With more than 1,500 applicants in the last five years, this is a successful educational program that serves underprivileged students, providing free travel for them and their families to maximize their potential and create opportunities for growth.
"The Lanzate/Take Off travel award provides travel to students who, for example, might not get to go home during Christmas break. It can also give parents an opportunity to see their kids through their proudest moments, like moving into a dorm or graduation day," said Christine Ortega, Southwest Airlines Community Affairs & Grassroots Manager. "This contact removes barriers and gives each student more confidence to pursue the dream of higher education without worrying about economic hardships."
HACU, which has its national headquarters in San Antonio, Texas, represents approximately 450 colleges and universities, including Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), which collectively serve more than two-thirds of all Hispanic higher education students in the United States and Puerto Rico. HACU's international membership includes leading higher education institutions in Latin America and Europe.
After more than 38 years of service, Southwest Airlines, the nation's leading low fare carrier, continues to stand above other airlines—offering a reliable product with exemplary Customer Service. Southwest Airlines is the most productive airline in the sky and offers Customers a comfortable traveling experience with all premium leather seats and plenty of legroom.

Based in Dallas, Southwest currently operates more than 3,200 flights a day and has nearly 35,000 Employees systemwide.

Clarissa Pinkola Estés Releases Her Master Work as a Live Online Series from SoundsTrue.com – The Dangerous Old Woman is Dr. Estés’ masterwork, three decades in the writing and now released for the first time as an online event series. The series is scheduled to begin airing live! on Tuesday, April 6 at 9-11pm EST on SoundsTrue.com
As in the olden times with a modern twist, Sounds True presents six nights “at the fireside,” online live broadcasts with internationally recognized mythologist, storyteller, and the author of Women Who Run with the Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D.
“A fireside” says Dr. Estés, “is created anywhere the storyteller and the listeners share a passion for time-honored tales from the past.” The Dangerous Old Woman is Dr. Estés’ masterwork, three decades in the writing and now released for the first time as an online event series. The series is scheduled to begin airing live! on Tuesday, April 6 at 9-11pm EST on SoundsTrue.com http://bit.ly/9iGjUv.
“What you’ve heard over the years about my having disappeared and gone underground to work and write is true,” says Dr. Estés. “When people ask where the heck I’ve been and why I so seldom come out when called by the “clattering world,” I often respond by saying that one can’t fulfill one’s calling by being called away. Rather one fulfills one’s calling by filling up... by studying, thinking, listening, looking at, living in the layers of life beyond the collective ones. Then . . . one can pour outwardly again.”
Women Who Run With the Wolves was first published as spoken-word audio in 1989 by Sounds True, three years before it appeared as a book. It became a classic, having been on the New York Times Bestseller list for 145 weeks, and is now published in 36 languages.
“The work of Clarissa Pinkola Estés is part of the very fabric of Sounds True,” said Tami Simon, founder and publisher. “Women Who Run with the Wolves was the first audio program that really put us on the map. Over the past two decades we’ve magnetized a following of devoted “Dr. E” listeners. Now in our 25th year and with the release of The Dangerous Old Woman, we return to what is our heart-center: empowering and supporting people’s full creative lives.”
The Dangerous Old Woman is filled with Dr. E’s signature stories, myths, and poetry—many told for the first time—including La Anciana, the Ancient One; the Midwife Exemplar; La Tejadora, the Weavers of Fate; The Juggler Women; and many others.
Dr. Estés on this landmark event: “Though I myself find perils and challenges of age to be true, we have to disavow the old prejudices about women and age. The true vision of the wise woman is one of bounty, of love and age and wisdom. As she gathers years, like la arbol de la vida, the ancient tree, she grows even more arms, even more flowers and fruits. She is more rooted, more vast, more sheltering—developing her callings to be throughout life, maiden mother, medium, crone, elder, healer, teacher, artist, knowing woman.”
What is it that makes this archetypal Old Woman dangerous? “The fact that she will not be stopped by cultural conventions; she does not fear criticism, ridicule, or being devalued,” says Dr. Estés. “The Old Woman goes where she wants, says what she wishes, and no one should try to stop her – or else. She will have a ready answer for them. She’s very clearly one who says, ‘Come with me, be with me, but if not… then stand out of my way -- I have a destiny to meet.’ She is not willing to amputate parts of herself, or her gifts, in order to be accepted.”
About the Author
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD, is an internationally recognized scholar, award-winning poet, Diplomate senior Jungian psychoanalyst, and cantadora (keeper of the old stories in the Latina tradition.) For a list of all Sounds True products by Dr. Estés, visit http://bit.ly/aCJOb4
