Emergency Alert
UDC Operating Remotely as of 12:30 p.m. Today, Monday, March 16

The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will move to remote operations as of 12:30 p.m. today, Monday, March 16. All on-campus activities, including athletics, are cancelled.

Staff: Contact your immediate supervisor with questions or for further instruction regarding remote work expectations.

Faculty: Reach out to your immediate supervisor and/or the dean for questions and further instruction regarding the transition to emergency remote instruction (ERI). The Center for the Advancement of Learning (CAL) is available to support faculty with instructional continuity, including support for Blackboard, Zoom, Webex and other teaching and learning technologies.

Students: Due to inclement weather, the university will be closed to in-person operations as of 12:30 p.m. today, Monday, March 16. Instruction will be moved to emergency remote, including synchronous and asynchronous methods. Certain laboratory, clinical and other hands-on classes for which in-person instruction is a requirement may necessitate a make-up lesson, but every effort will be made to pursue virtual learning to the extent possible. Where synchronous virtual instruction is intended, published class meeting times must be observed so that students’ schedules are not disrupted.

The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff and the broader community remain our top priority. We will continue to provide updates regarding the status of the university’s academic and administrative offices as conditions change.

Please continue to check our website and social media channels for the latest information.

If you have any safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For all immediate emergencies, call 911.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and to UDC’s mission.

Quality Matters Testimonial - Anshu Saxena Arora

Profile Picture for Anshu Saxena Arora.

Anshu Saxena Arora, Ph.D, PMP

Associate Professor

School of Business and Public Administration (SBPA)

Obtaining “Quality Matters” certification for my ‘Marketing Research’ course was a challenging yet rewarding journey. As a Marketing Professor and Robotics Researcher focused on examining consumer/user experience and behavior with emerging technologies like AI and robotics, I faced significant obstacles, particularly the lack of a suitable textbook since the course aimed to engage students in research within these cutting-edge fields. A BIG Thanks to my CAL colleagues, Julian and Fatma, for their immense help and invaluable assistance in synchronizing my marketing research content into a structured course map, modules, instructional materials, infographics, and assignments on Blackboard. The result is a well-organized course that includes comprehensive resources such as the latest research papers, articles, and case studies, along with weekly assignments that would greatly benefit my students. The Quality Matters certification underscores my commitment to delivering an exceptional learning experience that prepares students to excel in the dynamic fields of AI and robotics through marketing research.
