Durham Technical Community College and N.C. Central University announced Tuesday, Nov. 28, details of their Eagle Connect guaranteed admission program to enhance their transfer partnership and provide more supports for student success. The new guaranteed admission partnership is designed to make transferring more seamless for students who earn their associate degree from Durham Tech, then transfer to N.C.

In early December, scores of students, alumni and life sciences employers converged on Durham Tech’s Main Campus for the College’s first Life Sciences Networking event for students and interested members of the community. The event gave people interested in pursuing a career in life sciences the opportunity to meet company representatives, get advice and learn more about the variety of careers available in the field.
