News and Announcements

Attention All Returning International Students!

Remember how welcomed the peer assistants made you feel when you first arrived at the Slutzker Center? We are once again in need of knowledgeable and welcoming volunteers from January 6th to January 10th, 2014 to greet the new international students.

Candidates must have been enrolled at SU for at least one academic semester to be considered. Candidates must attend an hour-long, peer assistant training session in early December. If interested please send your completed Peer Assistant Application to Karisa Werner at klwerner@syr.edu.

Avoid Immigration Scams

The Slutzker Center has been made aware of several incidences across the country in which international students and scholars have become the target of immigration-related scams. These scams often involve a phone call from an individual claiming to be from the state police, the IRS, USCIS, ICE, or some other government agency. The individual may know specific information about you, such as your Social Security Number, Alien Registration Number, or the schools you have attended and degrees earned. Most often, the scammer will threaten you or your dependents with deportation unless you pay a certain amount of money.

Please be aware that no one from a US governement agency would ever threaten deportation and demand money over the phone. If you receive a similar phone call, you should not give out any of your personal information. Ask the person for their name, who they are working for, and their phone number. Tell them you will call them back or simply just hang up. Then visit the USCIS Report Scams website for information on how to properly report the scam. Remember reporting scams will not affect your immigration status, applications, or petitions. Also, many states allow you to report scams anonymously.

For more information on how to avoid becoming a scam victim, please visit the USCIS Avoid Scams website.
