Strategies for Supporting International Scholars (opinion)

While everyone is subject to their individual situations, for many, the process begins with an F-1 student visa, which they hold as they complete a Ph.D. over five to six years. After graduation, they may choose to transition to Optional Practical Training (OPT), which provides a year of work authorization, with a two-year extension for STEM graduates. Some may then transition to a H-1B temporary work visa, which provides for three years of work authorization and is renewable for another three years.

Growing up in Concord, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte, Jacob Palmer was a classic academic achiever. "I was a good student," he said in an interview with Fortune. "In high school, I participated in all types of extracurriculars, student leadership, I did a lot of public speaking. I had all sorts of friends." But he said something changed during the pandemic. "School looked drastically different doing online classes and Zoom calls. It felt very intangible." He said he figured out pretty quickly that online college "didn't work for me. I hated it."

Iowa Lawmakers Seek to End Student Vote on Board of Regents

In addition, seven new nonvoting member seats would be established: three for students, two for state senators and two for state representatives. The proposed legislation also details several new policies and programs the board would be required to establish and would give members of the state's General Assembly the ability to override board and university expenditures through a joint resolution.

GenAI Courses In Law School: A Good Idea - Above the Law

Legal training has long followed a guild system: law schools teach doctrine, then new lawyers learn to practice by working alongside experienced attorneys. This apprenticeship model may have worked well decades ago, but it's increasingly problematic today. And it particularly doesn't work well when it comes to GenAI since all too often younger lawyers know more about the tools than more experienced lawyers.
