Global connections begin with shared ideas.
UDC’s College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Sciences welcomed Dr. Konstantine “Kostas” Mastorakis to Firebird Research Farm in Maryland as part of a WGES Global-hosted U.S.–Greece working mission.
Hosted by Dr. Sabine O’Hara, distinguished professor and founding dean of UDC CAUSES, the visit brought sustainable agriculture, food systems and environmental stewardship into focus. Discussions explored opportunities for applied collaboration between U.S. and Greek partners.

A classroom project has become a lasting part of Washington, DC’s public art landscape.
Students in Professor Davide Prete’s Interdisciplinary Art II course created “Side by Side,” a new mural featured in the NoMa in Color Mural Festival. Selected as one of only 12 murals from more than 250 submissions, the artwork invites visitors to explore the neighborhood’s past and present through two interconnected scenes designed to spark curiosity and engagement.
The project provided students with real-world experience in public art, from developing a competitive proposal to painting the final mural on site. Working alongside UDC alumni and faculty, students brought their creative vision into the heart of the District while gaining valuable professional experience.

For Rowan Dunlap, choosing UDC meant pursuing their interest in filmmaking without leaving behind the family connections that matter to them.
In our latest “Why UDC?” video, the Digital Media major shares how affordability and being close to home helped them make that decision. At UDC, they can continue their education while spending time with their sisters and helping their mom.
Watch Rowan tell their story! What helped you choose UDC?
