Each year during National Library Week the UDC Library sponsors a student essay contest. On April 15, a Dell laptop computer was presented to Adayomi Adedeji, a sophomore at the Community College majoring in law enforcement. Attending the presentation this year were five contestants who shared their experiences in researching and writing on the topic "How Libraries Lead in Bridging the Digital Divide in American Society." A small reception followed.
Among the contributors to the new book DC Jazz: Stories of Jazz Music in Washington, DC (Georgetown University Press) are two professors from UDC.

Grant Jazz Archives among other area collections.
