According to OVIS, international students in the US on certain VISA categories cannot do volunteer work. This may impact these students' abilities to volunteer in the lab. We should add a (sub) section to the lab manual describing:

  • What the current policy is (to the best of our current understanding), with a link to any relevant OVIS documentation
  • Workarounds that have been successful in the past:
    • Course credit: independent studies and/or thesis projects
    • Leave term and/or on-term grants through UGAR, Neukom, etc.
  • Categories of student that we don't have good workarounds for yet:
    • First year international students who do not want to (or can't) sign up for independent studies; all of the Dartmouth grants seem to require second-year status or beyond
