RE: Email Security

Please note that many times you receive emails requesting donations and soliciting products. They appear genuine coming from reliable sources. These messages contain either embedded HTML text or URLs that will take you to a website when you click them. While at the site, you may be asked to insert your personal information. The Department of Information Technology filters such messages through Proofpoint spam filtering system, however few of these messages “sneak” in. It is always better to type in the URL in the web browser if you choose to visit the website mentioned in the emails. We highly recommend that you delete such emails immediately to protect your privacy and security of Colleges systems.

Thank you for your cooperation
