UPDATE: Microsoft Outage Resolved, Gala Ticket Purchases Back Online
UPDATE: The issue with Crowdstrike has been resolved. Langston University can begin processing ticket purchases again. Visit the President’s Scholarship Gala Website for more information! Update made at 10:15 a.m.
Langston University has been made aware of a technical outage with CrowdStrike, a Microsoft provider, which has affected our ability to sell tickers for the 19th Annual President’s Scholarship Gala. This outage has impacted numerous companies and business operations worldwide. The outage was unexpected and out of our control. The full impact of this outage is not known; however, tickets sold before 5:22 p.m. Central Time on Thursday, July 18, 2024, have been confirmed and will be honored.
In an effort to provide fair and equal access to the opportunity to purchase tickets, we have removed the link to purchase tickets from the President’s Scholarship Gala website. We will communicate via social media, email and our website with an announcement when tickets are once again available for purchase.
We appreciate your patience. Updates will be added to this story when more information becomes available.
