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.

DAWN

DAWN

Developing America’s Workforce Nucleus

Mission

The DAWN mission is to create a sustainable pipeline of domestic, diverse, business-ready STEM and entrepreneurship-ready talent at all levels of the workforce to propel America’s economic engine into the future.

Purpose

The DAWN Initiative intends to “transform public education so that public education represents a sustainable source of opportunity for all students and creates a source of business-ready talent from the economically-disadvantaged (all ethnic and racial backgrounds), brown and black student populations“. 

DAWN seeks solutions to the nation’s talent shortage by creating talent identification and refinement systems that will cultivate and increase STEM-based talent from underrepresented populations. Starting with a pilot in Washington DC’s Ward 8 community, our vision for DAWN is creating a new model for education that can be deployed across the country.

Vision

Schools with large populations of black, brown, and economically disadvantaged students are recognized pipelines of diverse scientists, climate change policy analysts, civil and construction engineers. environmental justice advocates, as well as green infrastructure specialists and technicians in a wide variety of fields.
