Date: June 12, 2025

Time: 3:45 PM 

The Division of Information Technology is aware of a widespread outage with a major cloud service provider that is currently impacting access to a number of online services used by the campus community.

This is a global issue affecting many organizations and is not the result of an outage or issue with the university's internal IT systems.

Impacted services may include, but are not limited to:

Users may experience slow loading times, errors, or be unable to access these services altogether. We understand the critical nature of these tools for teaching, learning, and administrative work and apologize for the disruption this external issue is causing.

Our team is closely monitoring the situation with the cloud provider. 

We appreciate your patience as the external provider works to resolve this major incident.

Registration is open for online workshop "Related Poetic Inquiry as a Bridge between the Arts and Sciences".  Participants will explore poetic inquiry using a "wicked science" training framework to view and understand research and teaching in a new way and from multiple perspectives in this online workshop. 

In a rapidly changing world, it’s important to prepare students for possible future career paths. Using a “wicked science” training framework, participants will explore the creative potential of arts-based research (ABR), more specifically poetic inquiry, to view and understand research and teaching in a new way and from multiple perspectives. In the first session, participants will be introduced to ABR methods and how they can expand upon both qualitative and scientific methodologies. Then, they will apply these methods to their own research and teaching contexts through the process of poetic inquiry between sessions.

Event Dates: July 24 & July 8, 2025
Time: 12 PM
Venue: Online


Registration opened on Monday, June 9 at 11 AM CT and will remain open until capacity is reached. The workshop is limited to 40 participants, with enrollment prioritized for CIRTL members and alumni on a first-come, first-served basis.

On Monday, June 9th, DoIT will be permanently shutting down the retired Rolm based phone system. Now that the campus has been migrated to the Cisco VoIP phone system, no impact to services or phone system users is expected. 


Years ago, DoIT began a campus wide project to modernize UMBC’s phone system, aiming to bring new features, flexibility, and stability to our calling environment. We are excited to announce that this last year DoIT completed the project by finishing the migration of all campus services from legacy to modern phone system. Although that work was completed months ago, in an abundance of caution DoIT elected to wait until the Summer before permanently powering down these old systems. 


Although we expect that this will have no impact on campus phone services, please don’t hesitate to contact the Technology Support Center if you experience any phone service disruptions.

Quick PSA:

For those who got the Atlantic Salmon from the FFM today (06/05/2025), please be mindful of a few things before eating.

If your salmon has a slimy or mushy like texture (it's floppy and not firm), any sort of discoloring ( a darker shade of the usual vibrant light orange/pink), or a noticeably stronger fishy smell thats pungant, or feeling unsure about it, please consider discarding it! We also don't recommend freezing it either for later use as that wont aid it either. 

We'll see you at the next FFM!

We are excited to begin testing and change management planning. Please see the below message from UMBC Travel: 

Dear UMBC Community,

We’re excited to share that the SAP Concur Travel Implementation Project is entering its next major phase: testing and change management planning.

As we move forward, we want to ensure that this transition is not just about technology—but about people. Our goal is to make this change as smooth, transparent, and beneficial as possible for the entire campus community.

What to Look Forward To

With SAP Concur, UMBC will benefit from:

  • Streamlined travel booking and expense reporting

  • Mobile access for submitting receipts and managing trips on the go

  • Improved compliance with travel policies and federal regulations

  • Integrated international travel support through Terra Dotta and CISI

  • Better visibility into travel spending and analytics

What Our Change Management Efforts Will Include

To support this transition, we are launching a comprehensive change management strategy that includes:

  • Stakeholder engagement: Identifying and involving key groups early to ensure their needs are heard and addressed

  • Targeted communications: Sharing timely, relevant updates tailored to different audiences

  • Training and support: Offering hands-on sessions, resources, and help channels to guide users through the new system

  • Feedback loops: Creating opportunities for you to share your experience and help shape the rollout

We’ll continue to keep you informed as we progress. In the meantime, thank you for your engagement and support as we work together to modernize UMBC’s travel experience.
