UDC University of the District of Columbia Office of Intergovernmental Relations

Mission

The mission of the Office of Intergovernmental Relations (OIR) is to provide liaison assistance between the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) and external constituencies that will advance the strategic interests of and funding opportunities for the University among local and national elected officials, their staff members, constituents and governmental agencies at all levels.  In achieving this mission, OIR will assist the University in achieving both the vision and mission set forth in the University’s Strategic Plan.  In addition, OIR is charged with generating the appropriate financial support for our legislatively designated, land grant University, which has as its tri-part mission:  teaching, research and service. Daily personal contact with elected and appointed officials and staff is an essential part of OIR operations and its effectiveness is based not only upon staff knowledge of the structures and functions of governmental entities, but also upon a keen awareness of the political culture and those involved in the political process.
