November, 2017, Important Message from the President...

On 11/20/2017 the following message was sent to over 1,000 Western mailboxes. It was sent by an off-campus address. The way the message was composed makes it appear like the sender is forwarding a message from President Randhawa. The content of the message is vague and uses language that sounds urgent without providing any context. Phishing scams often try to push you into taking urgent action before thinking through the actions and whether or not they could put you at risk.
