Monday evening around 7:15 pm there was a power outage on part of the campus which caused some of the core switches in the Residential Network to crash and their configuration became corrupted.
This crash took down service to both wired and wireless connectivity within all of the Residence Halls and Apartment Buildings.
Networking staff were able to restore wired connectivity around 10:30pm and wireless connectivity around 11:30pm Monday evening to all residential facilities.
We are looking into the failure of the battery back up unit that is designed to protect the equipment in the event of such outages and we will have it repaired once the campus re-opens after the storm.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me for additional information.
Thank You,

These are the rules we're starting with:
Reservations are limited to 3 hours per person or group each day.
Reservations can be made up to five days in advance.

Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
Following yesterday’s announcement of a new executive order imposing a 90-day ban on citizens of six countries entering the U.S., we want to provide a brief overview of the details of the new order and the university’s response.
The new executive order, set to take effect on March 16, 2017, suspends the issuance of new visas for citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen for 90 days. Individuals from those six countries who are outside the United States as of March 16, and do not already hold a valid visa, will likely be affected. The new order specifically exempts U.S. legal permanent residents and many dual citizens. For further detailed information on the new executive order and how it may impact you, please see the International Education Services (IES) website.
While the new executive order is more limited in scope than the first travel ban issued in late January 2017, we are still deeply troubled by the significant impact it will have on higher education. As we have said before, one of American higher education’s great strengths is its ability to bring together the best minds from around the world to create scholarly communities that benefit from diversity of experience, background, and thought. UMBC is home to students, faculty, and staff from more than 100 countries, and we understand the educational, societal, and economic benefits of bringing together people from across the globe to solve our most pressing challenges.
The previous executive order faced legal challenges, and this remains a highly fluid situation. Those who are citizens of the six countries affected by the new executive order should seek legal advice before making a decision about traveling outside the United States. IES will continue to post updated information regarding implementation of the executive order on its website and keep members of the campus community apprised of the situation as it evolves.
We also will continue to keep the campus updated about our work to advance UMBC’s culture of inclusive excellence on the UMBC Diversity and Inclusion website.
President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous

In 2016, DoIT hosted a brand new type of event known as TechFest, designed to bring UMBC students, faculty, and staff together to share different ways technology can both support and improve the efficiency of day to day activities.
The event planning and implementation was spearheaded by Collin Sullivan, a DoIT student employee. It was a major success, and now, on April 10, at the University Center, TechFest 2017 will feature more presenters, more vendors, and a brand new web app that attendees will be able to download, and giveaways.
Note: Find a complete list and brief description of all presenters as well as the option to and register for TechFest on the Instructional Technology post found here.
“...we can get bogged down in the little work too often, and these types of applications can help us get to the deep work more quickly.”
TechFest 2017 will feature more than 10 faculty, student, and staff presenters. Ashley Waters, Associate Director for UMBC - Shady Grove Campus, will present her favorite Google extensions that enable her to be more productive. “I have found that we can get bogged down in the little work too often and these types of applications can help us get to the deep work more quickly,” said Waters.
Waters wants to share her use of extensions like Google Keep, RescueTime, Boomerang, and more with the goal to share the news with others so they can find what works best for them. “If anyone can put one of these extensions to work and it helps them feel more in control of their demanding duties, my obsession with productivity hacks has been worth it!” said Waters.
Tara Carpenter, Senior Lecturer for Chemistry and Biochemistry, will present her use of canned responses and Google Forms, which streamlines her inbox. Carpenter teaches a very large intro course and spends a lot of time answering emails from students.
“I want to make others aware of how this tool can be used effectively to manage response to student emails,”
Carpenter saw that her emails could be broadly categorized and that she was typing the same responses over and over. By using canned responses, it has led to less time being spent on email for her.
“I want to make others aware of how this tool can be used effectively to manage response to student emails,” said Carpenter. “I'm also going to present the use of Google Forms as a way to collect information from students without adding more email to your inbox.”
Sarah Lilly, senior in Information Systems and SGA Senate Speaker, is excited to attend TechFest and will be hosting a session on Google Calendar. Lilly wants participants get a firm grasp on the tool, and be able to check in with them a few weeks after TechFest and schedule a meeting with them through Google Calendar.
“... I want more people to lean into and work smarter, not harder.”
As a full time student, full time worker, and involvement in student government, Lilly relies on Google Calendar to keep herself organized. “It's the only way I am able to keep my head straight and I want more people to lean into the tool and work smarter, not harder!” said Lilly.
Coming to TechFest 2017 are new vendors. You can expect to see representatives from Microsoft, IEEE, Lenovo, and even some student organizations like the Game Developers’ Club. In addition, a new mobile app that will allow participants to create their own schedule, learn who else is attending, and connect with presenters of sessions. More information about the mobile app will be released closer to TechFest.
Giveaways are returning to this year’s TechFest. To enter to win a giveaway, participants must complete feedback forms at the end of their sessions to get a raffle ticket. Participants can then use their raffle tickets to enter to win whichever prize they want.
