Receiving an honorary degree from Durham Tech at its 2025 graduation ceremony meant a great deal to Steve Schewel.
“It is an incredible honor. To be at graduation with the graduates walking the stage with their degrees was invigorating, seeing them heading out into the world with diplomas and high expectations,” Schewel said.

In 1991, the Durham Technical Community College Foundation began hosting an annual Native American weekend long celebration that brought thousands of community and K-12 students to campus over a 13-year period.
The University Transfer department at Durham Tech wanted the celebrations to showcase Indigenous culture and Native American history. This eventually transitioned into a campus-wide initiative.
Durham Tech employees, community members, and Native American Tribe members volunteered as the planning committee.
More than 50 people gathered at the Durham Technical Community College Northern Durham Center Friday to celebrate the 10th Electric Line Technician graduating cohort.
The Electric Line program started in Spring 2019 out of a partnership with Duke Energy that funded students to participate in the program at no cost, and which covers registration, tuition, fees, and equipment.
The most recent cohort started class on March 28 and the program lasted for 10 weeks. Students learned to climb poles, install equipment, safety codes and applications, overhead and underground electric line construction practices and more. Students also received their CDL permit by taking an online Saturday class for five weeks prior to the Electric Line class beginning.
