Career Services reports potential scammers on campus

By Northern Star staff

Career Services is warning students to be aware, as two individuals were handing out “internship” information and asking students to fill out “student cards.”

They were seen near Wirtz Hall and Reavis Hall Aug. 31. The individuals were not working with Career Services.

Should students see potential scammers, students should not give out any personal information, such as their bank account number, said Director of Internships and External Relations Catherine Doederlein.

Doederlein said she wants students to be aware of who is an official recruiter and not.

“We work with the [Holmes] Student Center to have tables set up,” Doederlein said. “So if you’re unsure about someone, ask [Career Services].”
