The University of California’s connection to Washington, DC, extends back decades, but 25 years ago, that connection gained a permanent home with the opening of the UC Washington Center. Since 2001, the UC Washington Center has served as a gateway between California and the nation’s capital. 

For 25 years, the Center has brought together students, faculty, alumni, policymakers, and partners to advance experiential learning, leadership, research, and public service.

Since our opening, we have become the home of the UCDC Program (which includes UC Berkeley Cal in the Capitol, UCLA Quarter in Washington and the UC Davis Washington Program, and former programs that have since been renamed like UCLA CAPP) as well as the University of California Federal and Governmental Relations team.
