#skystorians, does your department run an internship program for History students that involves some kind of course or academic credit? We're developing one, and I'd be very grateful for any examples people might be willing to share! πŸ—ƒοΈ

a lot of international students are also at risk of deportation if they are arrested and/or expelled for participating in the wave of campus protests due to the conditions of US student visas (I was warned not to participate in the women's marches in 2017 for this reason)

It is important to note that the context for this decision is not the techbruh who signed a NC. It's the person who works at a Wendy's franchise who signed a noncompete during onboarding and now can't get a job at McDonald's. www.nytimes.com/2021/09/29/o...
