Durham Technical Community College will serve as a regional community college teaching and learning center dedicated to training and developing instructors and improving student success.
In September 2021, The Belk Center at NC State, Achieving the Dream, and the North Carolina Student Success Center – three non-profit organizations dedicated to providing support and resources for community college leadership – launched the North Carolina Teaching & Learning Hubs.

Full-time and part-time faculty and staff educators will have the opportunity to participate in virtual, in-person, and hybrid workshops and seminars that lead to more equitable student outcomes.
