“I’m just going to be really candid right now. I feel like he would stare at my boobs when he had to explain something to me,” Navarro says. “If you stare at a girl’s boobs for one second—it felt like three years for me.” “I used to be really scared about talking about my experience at Adobe, but I realized the more that I talked about it, the less likely people are to just brush it off the next time that it happens,” she says.
In recent years, tech companies have tried to make internships welcoming to women, says Greg Morrisett, the former dean of Computing and Information Science at Cornell, who was recently named the dean and vice provost at Cornell Tech. “At bigger tech companies, [internships are] pretty curated experiences,” he says. But companies need to catch up with academia when it comes to making their workforces more equal.
