Powerful stories. Creative voices. A deeper connection to community and nature.

“From Anacostia with Love: An Environmental Journey” is a remarkable new collection of essays, poems and photographs created by talented Anacostia High School seniors documenting their experiences exploring parks, rivers, forests and historic sites across the region.

Through a partnership between UDC, DC Public Schools, Nature-Wise and Pepco, students spent the summer discovering the environment around them while developing their voices as writers, storytellers and advocates.

From reflections on the Anacostia River to visits connected to the Underground Railroad and Harriet Tubman’s family history, the project empowered students to explore both nature and identity in meaningful ways.

Congratulations to these incredible young authors for sharing their creativity, insight and passion with the world.

The University of the District of Columbia joins the nation today in honoring and remembering the brave servicemembers who gave their lives in defense of our country.

Memorial Day traces its roots back to the years following the Civil War, when communities gathered to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers in remembrance and gratitude. The holiday remains a national moment of reflection for those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.

As we remember their courage, UDC honors all who served and the families who continue to carry their memory forward.
