A Message from University Information Services (UIS)

Be Aware of Job Phishing Scams
A number of Georgetown students are receiving emails from unknown or fake senders. These are not legitimate opportunities and seek to trick students into sharing sensitive financial information. UIS encourages students to mark these emails as spam, report to CIRT@georgetown.edu, and delete immediately.
