Class of 2022 reflects on UDC experience
When graduating senior, Cheyenne Barber, transferred to the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) in the spring of 2020, she didn't know what to expect. Initially, she was nervous being a little older than the typical student and not knowing anyone. Two years later, she’s on track to graduate summa cum laude.
Like Barber, many graduating class students have unique experiences at UDC, such as Michelle Edmonds, who started at the university in the fall of 2011. Edmonds decided to come to UDC because of its flexible class schedules. The mother of one needed to continue working as a recreation specialist for the district's parks and recreation department and to raise her son. "UDC is here where I'm from," said the native Washingtonian. "They have classes that work well with people who are working, or parents and older people, and so on and so forth."-
