UDC or infamously called university of dumb children is actually a lot better than people give it credit for. Is it Howard? Obviously not but it deserves some more respect.

Every DC nikka said this

Is the UDC architecture an example of brutalism?

 

[MostReal]

Should be way more prominent considering their location imo

Never heard of this Uni. That campus looks really nice from the pictures at least. That alumni donation rate is absolutely horrendous though.

Maurice D. Edington, Ph.D., Named the 10th President of the University of the District of Columbia​

Maurice D. Edington, Ph.D., an accomplished scientist, educator, and university administrator with a proven track record of success in improving student retention and graduation rates, has been named the 10th president of the University of the District of Columbia (UDC).
The University Board of Trustees voted unanimously to appoint Edington as president during the Board’s regular meeting of the Board of Trustees on June 8.
He succeeds Ronald Mason Jr., J.D., the University’s longest-serving president, who announced that he would be stepping down as President in July 2022. Mason will end his tenure on July 31, 2023, but will remain a faculty member at the David A. Clarke School of Law, ensuring a seamless leadership transition.
Edington will take the helm on August 1, bringing more than 20 years of higher education leadership experience to UDC—an HBCU, the only public university in the nation’s capital, and the only exclusively urban land-grant university in the United States.
He most recently served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Florida A&M University (FAMU), where he guided strategy for vice presidents and other senior administrators to improve institutional outcomes on key performance indicators and sustain operational excellence
