[Agvisors] Center for Digital Studies unsolicted outreach to UA students

[Buhrow, Danielle Pilar - (danielleb)]

Hi All,
There seems to be increased unsolicited outreach to UA students and to their Catmail addresses ongoing. I had a student contact me yesterday about the uagc programs-unsolicited outreach they received and another student today receiving unsolicited outreach from a place called Center for Digital studies- https://cfdstucson.thinkific.com/ and this group's site look sketchy to me and with little info on their site re: who they are and who runs/owns it. Looks like a money grab as they are targeting UA students in the info on the site. Sharing with you in case your students contact you about it.
In an upcoming CALES Connect or a CALES social media post, can we recommend students be extra cautious with digital communications, clicking on links or responding to unsolicited outreach? I'm unsure how to inform students but they are being targeted, imo. The student from today also mentioned that text messages come in and ask them to complete surveys because they are UA students, but the surveys are not from UA and they didn't sign up for them.

Thank You,
