University of the District of Columbia

The University of the District of Columbia (UDC), the only public university in the nation’s capital, is dedicated to research, community service and empowering students through education. By offering a quality, affordable education, fostering an equitable and inclusive campus culture, and valuing student growth, UDC opens doors to unique career opportunities and community connections.

This year, we are focusing on building a UDC talent pipeline for our immediate human resources needs. We funded the Pepco Scholars Program, which provides a select group of rising sophomores with scholarships covering full tuition and housing for their remaining three years. We also hope to open an energy lab on UDC’s Van Ness Campus soon. We also intend to continue to collaborate with UDC on increasing the future K-12 STEM pipeline through support for STEM programs and events.
