Carthage College used Cybersecurity Awareness Month to point students toward cybersecurity tips on a student-made Phishing Awareness for Students page. The notice tells readers to learn how to protect themselves from email, text message, phone call, and social media scams.
Alex Vincer and 2026 SURE
The page was created by a Carthage student as part of a 2026 SURE program research project. That detail matters because the guidance is tied to student work rather than a generic campus warning.
Alex Vincer was listed as the contact person for the notice. The notice gave [email protected] and 262-551-6543, along with 2001 Alford Park Drive, Kenosha, WI 53140.
Phishing Awareness for Students
The page itself is named Phishing Awareness for Students. The notice directs readers to it for ways to avoid scams that arrive through email, text message, phone call, or social media channels.
That leaves one practical gap: the notice points students to the page, but it does not spell out the specific tips inside it. Students who want the actual examples or rules have to open the page rather than rely on the notice alone.
Carthage College notice
For students, the immediate next step is simple. Use the page as a checklist before answering an unexpected message or request, especially one that asks for personal information or tries to push you into acting fast.
If the campus goal is to reduce scam risk, the useful part is not the celebration of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. It is whether students can turn the page into a habit when a suspicious message lands in their inbox or on their phone.
