Yesterday (5/27) I joined a fantastic webinar - “Make Working from Home Work for You" that was hosted by the Georgetown University Alumni Association. The webinar was intended for recent college grads and presented by Peter Swiek, a 2010 GU graduate who has worked remotely as an IBM consultant for his entire 10-yr career. 

Although I graduated from GU years ago, I found the advice incredibly helpful since I just began working remotely in March. I highly recommend it and encourage you to consider sharing it with your students and summer associates.  Anyone should be able to view it on YouTube as the host encouraged us to share it with our colleagues.
