Growing up in Camden City, New Jersey, Nyeema Watson dreamed of attending college. But as a first-generation student, her parents didn't know how to help her, and her high school guidance counselor tried to dissuade her. In this episode of the Advance Rutgers podcast, Watson, now vice chancellor for Diversity, Inclusion, and Civic Engagement at Rutgers University–Camden, explains how the right people came along at the right time to make her dream a reality and her college experience a success. Today, she's devoting her career to doing the same—helping kids in Camden realize their passions through programs like the Rutgers–Camden Schools Partnership, Rutgers–Camden Ignite, and the Hill Family Center for College Access. Visit our website to learn about more signature initiatives at Rutgers and how you can support them.

In the minds of kids as well as adults "failure" is something to be avoided at all costs. But Jessica Lahey, educator and author of "The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Kids Can Succeed" says we may be missing something important in our mistake-averse approach to life. "I don't want kids to fail. I want kids to have this adapt-positive response to making mistakes. Unfortunately, when I talk to parents these days a B- is 'failure' to them."
