We have become aware of a significant threat to students as part of an internet and email phishing scam. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has issued an alert on employment scams targeting college students. Phony job opportunities are advertised via college employment websites or students’ university emails. If you receive an email regarding employment opportunities in which you are not certain, please work with my office or with Career Services.
