The Department of Information Technology has been made aware of several scam and phishing emails that are attempting to obtain bank account information, account passwords, and other sensitive personal information. Some of the latest scams include:
- Asking students to apply for their 2023 student aid and grant funds with links that will take them to a bogus page asking for bank account information.
- Asking a Capital employee to CashApp or borrow money urgently.
- Asking HR employees to change payroll direct deposits to a new bank effectively immediately.
Please be aware, safe, alert, and do not engage or respond to any email that looks suspicious to you. Also, do not open attachments or click on links in emails from persons you do not recognize. Please just delete them. For more information about phishing emails and scams, visit the IT Status Page at https://inside.capital.edu/itstatus/2018/10/11/how-to-spot-a-phish-101118/.

We are looking for students to become Change Advocates! As part of AIM (Advocate, Invest and Mobilize), a new community engagement program, Change Advocates are students who are paid to go into the community to conduct engagement 1-12 hours per week. Change Advocates will:
- Connect their academic knowledge to their community engagement experiences.
- Engage with community partners and peers in a way that signifies respect and acceptance.
- Articulate their skill development and the positive change created by their leadership roles throughout their community engagement experiences.
- Interact with and respect all cultures, identities, and perspectives.
The AIM Program empowers students to actively participate in academic and co-curricular experience through a lens of community engagement, social justice, and civic responsibility. This inclusive community of learners will transform into resilient, ethical citizens and leaders, making meaningful contributions to their current and future communities.
If you are interested in applying, please email Tristen Davis at [email protected].
