Jenny Hall-Jones, GVSU vice president for Student Affairs, told me that parents and first-time students should make sure they have their Student ID and a keychain for their dorm key, and remember that this can be an emotional day for everyone. Watch her interview below.
According to the Better Business Bureau, students moving back to campus present a prime opportunity for scammers to steal money and information. To combat this, the BBB recommends researching any person or company that is contacting your student about a potential job.
Never share sensitive information with someone you do not trust, and be aware of any job that seems too good to be true, because chances are it probably is.
