If you clicked on this link and may have completed the form, please contact the Service Desk immediately at x7224 or servicedesk@vassar.edu<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always examine the link! Look at the information in your web browser to determine whether or not the site you are directed to is a Vassar site or an unknown (or suspicious) one.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">A phone call to the alleged sender would quickly verify if this is a legitimate email.
