“I wish I knew….” When reflecting on their academic and professional careers, even the most accomplished individuals can cite at least one thing that they wish they had known early on—instead of having to learn it the hard way. While experience is often still the best teacher, for some the stakes are higher. For young women—and in particular students who are of color, immigrants or first-generation Americans, many of whom may be the first in their family to “break through” to new opportunities and heights—not knowing can sometimes be the difference between success and derailment….
