60 for 60: Watch one of Durham Tech's first video advertisements


In celebration of Durham Technical Community College’s 60th anniversary, the College is publishing 60 for 60 – a storytelling campaign that highlights the people, places, and events that have progressed and shaped the College’s six decades of impact.

In the 1980s, Durham Technical Community College created one of the College's first video advertisements. At more than 12-minutes in length, the commercial highlights the various programs and professional trainings that were offered at the time.

Complete with '80s-era synthetic background music and vintage video transitions, the commercial is a snapshot of the need for promotion in a growing Durham and Triangle region.

Enjoy the rad and bodacious '80s with the video clip below.
