On November 16, 2023, ULC honored Dorothy Walker and awarded her the Model of Excellence Award for 2023. Ms. Walker is the Ballet Mistress at St. Mark's Dance Studio in Washington, DC and has a lengthy career in ballet and in teaching ballet.

Two of ULC's students also shared how the ministry has had an impact on their lives. With Leon Harris from NBC-4 News, as the MC, it made for a memorable night of fellowship.
