In April, Durham Tech joined colleges nationwide in celebrating Community College Month, highlighting the essential role community and technical colleges play in powering America’s workforce and expanding economic opportunity.
Community College Month is an annual campaign highlighting the vital role local two-year institutions play in providing affordable, accessible education and workforce training. Spearheaded by the American Association of Community College, the month highlights diverse opportunities, career preparation, and economic impact that more than 1,000 community colleges provide to more than 10 million students nationwide.
“Student success at Durham Tech begins with a simple truth — you belong here,” said Dr. Holly June, assistant vice president for Student Services and adjunct instructor in Early Childhood Education. “With a student‑first mindset, collaborative care, and a little Disney‑like pixie dust, we build community, encourage curiosity, and support students to achieve their dreams.”
Community colleges are the smartest first step and the strongest next step for millions of learners. Whether a student is preparing to transfer to a four-year institution, seeking a career-ready credential, earning an associate degree, or building new skills through short-term training, Durham Tech provides the pathway.
"At Durham Technical Community College, student success is not left to chance — it is intentionally designed through access, support, and opportunity. The College meets students where they are and equips them with the skills, confidence, and pathways to transform their lives and strengthen our community,” said Dr. Kara Battle, Durham Tech vice president and chief academic officer.
The combination of workforce training, traditional liberal arts and sciences education, community service, and business partnerships is what many say makes the College special and what makes it a value for students.
"As a Durham native, I knew Durham Tech would be the best fit for me,” Durham Tech student Mya Burton said. “As a high school student, I took dual-enrollment courses and thoroughly enjoyed the campus, professors, and opportunities available. Now, I am involved with the College’s Student Government Association and serve as its public information officer. Working with fellow students and ensuring their engagement on campus has been very rewarding."
