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.

CAL Faculty Support Resources


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.

Developing America’s Workforce Nucleus

Katherine Johnson

Katherine G. Johnson Math Teacher Training Institute (MTTI)

The MTTI will be a teacher recruiting, training, research, and resource hub for the development and dissemination of math theory and practice, based on the Algebra Project (AP) model. Its focus is innovative content development and delivery methods for students in lower-income quartiles. In addition to being the training hub for UDC faculty and DC public school teachers, the MTTI will also be the site of UDC/SIAP two-week intensive Summer Teacher Seminars (STS) and two-week Mathematics Laboratories for Teaching (MLT) to train HBCU faculty and other public-school teachers on the AP-based pedagogy.

Anacostia High School

C2 Equity Academy

Piloting the rethinking of public education in the most challenged neighborhood in the nation’s capital, the C2 Equity Academy connects the public PK-12 feeder system of Ward 8 in DC directly to higher education through seamless STEM focused pipelines with multiple stackable credentials. These credentials range from skilled technical workforce and entrepreneurship certifications to bachelor’s degrees and beyond.¹ The goal is to create a sustainable pipeline of technical, business-ready, and entrepreneurial talent from the vast sources of untapped potential in Black, brown, and economically disadvantaged communities.

TMCF Strengths Summer

TMCF Strengths Summer @ UDC

Partnering with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), UDC will create a rigorous college enhancement summer experience for select HBCU incoming freshmen and rising sophomores identified as having high potential. SS@UDC will enhance the leadership skills and entrepreneurial talent of students and expose them to the worlds of finance, industry, and government. They will be trained as Gallup Strength coaches, deployed as mentors for subsequent participants, and placed on leadership tracks on their respective campuses. Additionally, SS@UDC will help to increase the pool of high-quality talent available to participate in the annual TMCF Leadership Institute, an annual event connecting the 300 most talented HBCU students with opportunities at Fortune 1000 companies.

360 Assessment

360° Assessment

The objective of this project is to build an accurate and psychometrically robust measure of student potential that assesses students’ metacognitive attributes (for example: fluid intelligence, divergent thinking, perseverance, resilience, proactive disposition, expectations of high achievement, and information search intensity) in the context of their individual histories and educational background. The results of the assessment can inform the college admissions decision-making process as well as identify developmental and learning needs of students.
