I would seek advice from the department, your faculty, and the Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career). There are many resources for finding internships (including global opps) on this page from the Career Center: bit.ly/BCInternshipOpps.
Well, I am not u, but maybe someone else is? Nope! You are a unique individual!
Take a left at Charles Bridge and walk along the Vltava until you get to The Dancing House. If you keep walking you’ll get to the Visehrad Cemetery where lots of famous Czechs are buried. You’re also following in reverse the protest march that sparked the Velvet Revolution in November 1989. There’s a memorial to the student protestors on Narodni Street a little further back.
Being a university president is a tough job; it is impossible to please everyone (just look at what happened recently to several presidents). Ultimately, Fr. Leahy reports to the Board of Trustees, so he takes direction from them. It is up to the Board to determine if Fr.

Ukraine’s summer counter-offensive didn’t go as well as hoped, and there has been a lot of hard fighting this winter, with Russia trying to advance in several places. Neither side is winning or losing right now. I’m following the Kyiv Independent, the NY Times, the Washington Post, and sometimes the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times, all of which have good coverage. The first one is free and in English, the rest are available to everyone at BC either through the library or after setting up a separate account. Details here: https://libguides.bc.edu/newspapers
I’m so sorry you’re sad. Please accept this virtual hug! If I had arms I’d give you a real one. I hope you have some friends with arms and ears who can listen and hug. If you find the sadness persisting intrusively or you can’t find someone who can listen, consider a student wellness coach: bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach.
It’s a placeholder name for planning purposes not an actual disease. Johns Hopkins has a good explainer on it. https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/what-is-disease-x
There are a variety of possible answers to that depending on how one thinks of God. I like this statement from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops: “We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.” https://bit.ly/bc-usccb
