On Sept. 10, 亚洲博彩网站 welcomed new alumni members to its Board of Trustees with a swearing-in ceremony attended by civic leaders, faculty, staff and students. Bernard Grayson (AAS ’03 AAS ’04 BBS ’05 BBS ’12) and Tracey Jackson, PhD (JD ’18), join a third new addition to the Board, Josh Lopez (BA ’09 MA ’17), who had been sworn in earlier in July. 

格雷森是一名长期的公务员，杰克逊是一名公共政策专家和执行教练，洛佩兹是一家商业发展公司的首席执行官，他们都以敬业的社区领袖身份在华盛顿留下了自己的印记。 Together, they bring new perspectives and new energy to the university’s strategic plan, and they take the obligations that come with their appointment to the Board seriously.

“Being sworn in as a Trustee of the University of the District of Columbia is both a profound honor and a great responsibility,” Grayson said. “This moment represents not only a continuation of our rich legacy but also a commitment to shaping the future of our university community. It is a reminder that our collective work must always focus on creating pathways of opportunity, excellence, and equity for our students, alumni and the broader District of Columbia.”

The presence of DC Councilmember Robert White and Maryland state Senator Nick Charles (BA ’09) at the ceremony highlighted the university’s longstanding connections with civic leadership. The evening also offered a moment to reflect on service already provided when Trustee Anntoinette White-Richardson (MA ’95) was honored for her service on the board.

The university’s strategic plan — anchored in student success, sustainability and community impact — remains a guiding force for 亚洲博彩网站. The Board’s leadership is vital in transforming those priorities into lasting progress. 随着大学准备庆祝其175周年，受托人将帮助制定大胆的举措，以纪念其遗产，同时推进其未来。
