Grad student helps women sell homemade items



           For Pinar Arpaci, just thinking about the two Turkish women she helped earn college degrees still gives her goosebumps. It began back in 2011 when Arpaci, graduate student in education, created a program called Prodigy Stream. The program aims to empower women living in Istanbul, Turkey.
