Emergency Alert
UDC Operating Remotely Through Wednesday, Jan. 28

The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will conduct business remotely on Tuesday, January 27 and Wednesday, January 28. All on-campus activities, including athletic-related activities, 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.

Consultation Request Form
For learning technology tools and on-demand faculty resources, please visit CAL’s website.

Students: Due to inclement weather, the university will be closed to face-to-face operations. 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.

Talent Capital Initiative

Overview

The Talent Capital initiative is a regionally coordinated response to the anticipated displacement of approximately 40,000 federal employees due to federal downsizing — a development that poses a significant threat to the District’s economic stability and workforce vitality. This initiative seeks to establish a unified “front door” across the DMV region, connecting displaced federal workers to high-demand, future-ready career pathways. It also presents a powerful opportunity to highlight the role of higher education institutions in workforce transformation and economic resilience.

The first phase of the initiative features certification programs in Project Management and Data Science/AI Applications. These offerings are specifically designed to align with the transferable skills and professional experiences of displaced federal workers and are delivered through a network of university partners, online platforms and select community-based organizations.

As the District’s only public urban land-grant university, UDC is uniquely positioned to play a leading role in this effort. Below is an overview of the programs and support services UDC offers through the Talent Capital initiative to empower displaced federal workers to successfully transition into high-growth careers.
