UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA<br />
CELEBRATING 160 YEARS<br />
OF SCHOLARSHIP AND<br />
ACHIEVEMENT—2011<br />
Dear Friends:<br />
Your <strong>University</strong> has accomplished some marvelous<br />
things in <strong>the</strong> last year!<br />
After recognizing our city was missing a vital educational<br />
link for our residents, we created <strong>the</strong> Community<br />
College <strong>of</strong> DC—within a year—to fill that void. Now,<br />
CCDC is headquartered in a new, state-<strong>of</strong>-<strong>the</strong>-art facility<br />
at 801 N. Capitol St. NE, just two blocks from Union Station. CCDC has also expanded<br />
operations in <strong>the</strong> former Bertie Backus Middle School on South Dakota Avenue NE, w<strong>here</strong><br />
our renowned and expanding nursing program will reside. We plan to develop that site as a<br />
School <strong>of</strong> Allied Health for UDC and CCDC. Our Community College is thriving!<br />
The <strong>University</strong> continues to grow with <strong>the</strong> new College <strong>of</strong> Agriculture, Urban Sustainability<br />
and Environmental Sciences on our Van Ness campus. CAUSES will soon become <strong>the</strong><br />
national leader in educating students on issues <strong>of</strong> urban sustainability and in conducting<br />
research in water quality management and green initiatives. Locally and globally, <strong>the</strong> new<br />
UDC carries promise for our new urban environment.<br />
Our Van Ness campus is undergoing a significant and historic renovation. From green ro<strong>of</strong>s<br />
to appealing green campus spaces with energy-efficient, recycled water falls, we are transforming<br />
this university from <strong>the</strong> ground up. We are creating an atmosp<strong>here</strong> that invites our<br />
community to be a part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new UDC.<br />
We are providing our students with <strong>the</strong> best possible college experience, including campus<br />
living. This year, we partnered with a local firm that manages an apartment building across<br />
from our main campus, enabling nearly 100 students to live nearby for <strong>the</strong> current semester,<br />
and we plan to have residence halls built directly on <strong>the</strong> Van Ness campus by 2013.<br />
In sports, our Firebirds continue <strong>the</strong>ir climb upward with <strong>the</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>fering a great<br />
experience that will benefit our student athletes. We are upgrading all <strong>of</strong> our facilities and<br />
bringing in <strong>the</strong> best talent to join our efforts. We look forward to great performances by our<br />
existing teams and much more in <strong>the</strong> future as we develop lacrosse, women’s crew and men’s<br />
football programs, among o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
The Firebird is rising at UDC. As <strong>the</strong> only public university in <strong>the</strong> <strong>District</strong>, and <strong>the</strong> only<br />
urban land-grant university in America, we have a unique mission and responsibility. Please<br />
visit udc.edu to discover everything we’re doing and ways in which you can take part.<br />
