    <div><br></div>The semester is flying by, Spring Break is almost upon us! We at PROMISE realize that we haven't had an opportunity this semester to gather around, drink coffee, and eat donuts with you all! As such, we've decided to host an informal gathering at Commons 329 and hope you will join us. We will provide the coffee and donuts to share and invite you to stop to say hi and catch up with us and other graduate students.<div><br></div>
    <div>We (Dr. Robin Cresiski and Yarazeth Medina) will be available to talk about the Grad Student and Postdoc Development Office (GSPD), PROMISE, the calendar of professional development events, our latest Netflix Binges, and hopefully, create even more of an opportunity for you to meet fellow grad students in other departments. We would love to help you develop a deeper sense of community here on campus. If you just feel like stopping for free coffee and a donut, you are more than welcome to do so as well! </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please click on "Going" below so we can be sure to have enough coffee and donuts for all who plan to attend. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>As this is an in-person event, please RSVP so we can be sure we are following safety guidelines per UMBC. Additionally, if you must cancel, please be sure to do it within 24 hours of the event's occurrence.</strong> </div>
    <div><strong>Please remember: Facemasks are required inside the building.</strong></div>

<Title>Recent Campus Power Outage Effecting Several Services</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The campus experienced a brief power outage around 11:35 this morning, and our data center on campus also lost power. All of our teams have been working on restoring services, and most are back but several including Peoplesoft Student Administration and HR are still being brought back online. <div><br></div>
    <div>We are still investigating why our backup power systems did not function properly, and we appreciate everyone's patience while we fully restore services. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Most academic services like Blackboard, Google and others were only briefly affected while our single sign on was switching over to be served from our other data center. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>I will send an update once service is fully restored. </div>
