Before some recent updates, checking the traffic used to be a bit of a pain.

It will also show road closures and offer a colored guide to traffic levels in a given area.Traffic has taken a much higher priority in Google Maps and that\u2019s for the better.Fortunately, it's easy to see traffic in real-time on Google Maps.

For the past four months, we have been renovating classrooms to enhance teaching and learning technology. Specifically, we have completed classroom upgrades, preparing for students to return to campus and for the possibility of hybrid and other flexible modes of instruction. You will notice new technology in many rooms. If you are teaching in hybrid mode this semester we strongly encourage you to reach out to our CETS team at cets@georgetown.edu or via their Zoom help desk (Meeting ID 995-332-8350) between 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Friday and Saturday 8 a.m.-6 p.m. to schedule a one-to-one session in your assigned classroom to become familiar with the technology and teaching conditions.
Android M preview 3 has been delayed until further notice
Due to the continuing impact of the pandemic on global travel, we have decided to continue the moratorium until further notice on University-related international travel for all students, faculty, and staff. There will be very limited exemptions that must be approved by the appropriate campus EVP or the COO (for staff). This decision was made after careful consideration and in the interest of the health and safety of our community.
We encourage faculty and staff who have been approved to work on campus to pick up your return-to-campus welcome kits in Salon C of the Georgetown University Hotel and Conference Center between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. from Wednesday, August 19, until Tuesday, August 25. The welcome kits include two washable and reusable Georgetown-branded face coverings, hand sanitizer, a digital thermometer, and a touchless door opener.
As a reminder, beginning on August 17, if you have been approved to work on campus, you will be required to show your Building Access Badge from the GU360 website to gain entry to university buildings staffed by a public health screener. When public health screeners are on duty (7 a.m. until 10 p.m. Monday through Friday), faculty and staff will need to use entrances staffed by a public health screener because GOCard access for these buildings will be turned off for these hours. Faculty and staff who have been approved to work in these buildings will have GOCard access to them outside of these hours and on weekends. 2ff7e9595c
