Phish Bowl Alerts

This email begins with the phishing tip-off of having been sent "From the "Office of the Professor,, Department of Computer Science" and then later in the email drops an actual professor's name. For some unknown reason, it is from cynthiahuck19@gmail.com, however, and wants to engage with applicants via text message. Don't respond. Do mark it as phishing (open it in a browser, click on the stack of three dots to the right of the REPLY button and select "Report phishing").
