Most of the academic programs that place Washington interns steer students away from virtual internships: “Why would you come to Washington for a semester if you’re going to be working remotely two days a week or more?” said Jennifer Richwine, who runs Wake Forest University’s program in the capital. “If you’re in person, you’re learning just from osmosis of being in an office.

For 2024 college seniors, graduation will be even sweeter
“It’s going to be crazy,” said senior Ceyana Young. “I’m excited. It’s going to be so fun.” For her and other WFU seniors, the experience means more than it would for most. “To not have that experience in high school to be able to walk across the stage — it does feel like I’m about to live a movie scene,” she said. “It’s going to be a surreal experience.”

Cracking the generation gap is no game – or is it?
When it comes to attracting and keeping help on the golf course, the “it’s my way, or the highway” management style probably has lost much of its effectiveness — at least as it pertains to traditional seasonal employees. It’s very hierarchical,” said Amy Wallis, professor of organizational behavior and ethics in the Wake Forest’s School of Business. “There is a difference between the relationship between a superintendent and kids who are brand new to golf or college kids working over summer break and superintendents and, say, their assistants.”

Retail traders are beating big firms
The earliest form of prediction markets on Wall Street took shape around 1884, with betting on the outcome of presidential elections, according to economics professor Koleman Strumpf. In more recent decades, these markets have occasionally been confronted with ethical dilemmas over the propriety of betting on geopolitical outcomes, and described by some critics as “terrorism betting parlors.” Despite the naysayers, experts said prediction markets can play a vital role in society, are reasonably efficient, and tend to perform well.

US troops’ Niger exit should spur better strategy
“The U.S. departure from Niger is painful for the U.S. military, but also an opportunity for change. Let’s hope U.S. policymakers can seize that opportunity and move to less force-based approaches better-suited for U.S. interests and good for Africans too,” writes politics and international affairs professor William Walldorf.

Chile’s government is considering tougher security measures and new antiterrorism laws after armed assailants killed three police officers in the country’s Biobío region. “Chile remains relatively safe – and Santiago is a far safer national capital than most in Latin America,” said politics and international affairs professor Peter Siavelis. “Government statistics show that the rise in violent crime is due mainly to criminal gang activity, often with foreign ties. These connections have prompted Chileans to view rising crime as a problem of illegal immigration.”
