ANNOUNCEMENTS
Students may have recently received a phishing email titled “Faculty Administrator Announcement” with a link that takes users to a page that looks like the myBama login page. This is not an official UA page, according to UA’s Office of Information Technology. The email is attempting to steal information. Students should not click the link and should immediately delete the email.
Memorial service will honor UA students. The Offices of the President, the Office of the Dean of Students and the Student Government Association invites the campus community and the public to a service in memory of UA students Sabrina M. Kelley, Lindsey R. Smith, Jessica “Jess” Phillips, Peyton S. Trueblood and Corbyn Kelly Wile. The memorial service will be held at Denny Chimes on Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
