Overcome Barriers and Exceed Expectations...Vivian W. Pinn

Mentorship is important to me, and my two points to young people are: overcome barriers and exceed expectations of those who may not expect much of you; and have a mentor and be a mentor. 

--Dr. Vivian W. Pinn, Director of the Office Of Research On Women's Health (ORWH) at the National Institutes of Health (1991-2011)
