Global Microsoft Outage

As of late Thursday evening, a widespread Microsoft outage continues to affect Outlook and other Microsoft services on campus and across the nation. Earlier this evening, Microsoft revised its list of features and services impacted by this outage, stating that it is affecting ones that interact with email services. Microsoft Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Copilot AI, and 365 are all continuing to have various issues. Microsoft has not provided a specific estimate for when the global outage will be completely resolved, though a portion of affected servers and services have begun a gradual recovery. The next update will be posted on Friday morning.

The IEEE student chapter invites students and faculty to Bytes & Desserts, a seminar series where engineering professors share their research and work experience.

Join us on Wednesday, Nov. 11 from 12:45 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the CETA Makerspace (Hursey Center) for out next session, featuring Professor Keshawn Smith presenting resilient and safe cooperative control, which looks at how groups of autonomous systems can work together reliably and safely, even when conditions are uncertain or something goes wrong.

Professor Smith will cover three areas:

  • Autonomous systems
  • Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), where multiple AI agents learn to make decisions together
  • Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs)

Attendees will hear about the research behind these topics and learn about opportunities available on campus. Free donuts and hot chocolate will be provided—all students are welcome!
