Posted By: TaQuan Ford on November 18, 2024

Washington, DC — On November 12, the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) hosted an elegant Coronation ceremony and ball, celebrating the crowning of the 2024-2025 UDC Royal Court. The event was a major highlight of UDC’s weeklong 2024 Homecoming celebration, bringing together students, faculty, and alumni to honor a new class of student leaders.

“I’m committed to supporting student engagement and fostering a positive campus environment,” says Ford, echoing the values the Royal Court represents.
