Congratulations to FC2 Trustee Maurice Edington on his inauguration as the 10th President of the University of the District of Columbia.

Maurice D. Edington, Ph.D., Named the 10th President of the University of the District of Columbia Maurice D. Edington, Ph.D., an accomplished scientist, educator, and university administrator with a proven track record of success in improving student retention and graduation rates, has been named the 10th president of the University of the District of Columbia (UDC). The University Board of Trustees voted unanimously to appoint Edington as president during the Board's regular meeting of the Board of Trustees on June 8. He succeeds Ronald Mason Jr., J.D., the University's longest-serving president, who announced that he would be stepping down as President in July 2022. Mason will end his tenure at the end on July 31, 2023, but will remain a faculty member at the David A. Clarke School of Law, ensuring a seamless leadership transition. Edington will take the helm on August 1, bringing more than 20 years of higher education leadership experience to UDC—an HBCU, the only public university in the nation's capital, and the only exclusively urban land-grant university in the United States. #udcfirebirds #highered https://bit.ly/3WVDmuK
