This morning Google had a widespread outage that affected all of their services, including Gmail, Calendar, Google Docs, Google Meet and Youtube. Service was quickly restored by approximately 8:00am but users may have noticed connection issues getting into their Email or accessing other Google services this morning.
This wasn't specific to UMBC, it was a larger outage within Google itself. Other UMBC services like Blackboard and Peoplesoft were unaffected.
At this point we don't have any additional information on the cause of the outage.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
