Durham Tech’s Phlebotomy program received good news in 2024.
First, the program received accreditation from the American Society Phlebotomy Technicians in July. Then, the first class of Phlebotomy students to go through the program after it received accreditation all successfully passed the national phlebotomy certification test in mid-December and are now certified ASPT phlebotomist.

The Aspen Institute College Excellence Program announced today that Dr. Abe Dones, Durham Tech vice president and chief student services officer, is one of 40 leaders selected nationwide for the 2025-26 Aspen Rising Presidents Fellowship. Rigorously selected from among more than 120 applicants, fellows will learn from — and apply to their own contexts — lessons from more than a dozen years of Aspen research about how to lead an institution to higher and more equitable levels of student success.
Long before he was investigating crime scenes with his K9, Renzo, Justin Long was a young kid growing up on his family farm in Roxboro with herds of cattle, vegetable rows, and a bell that rang for dinner.
His family called it Bloomsdale – 120 acres of farmland where three generations lived. There were six houses on the farm, all built by Long family hands. His parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all grew up within walking distance of each other.
Days off didn’t exist. There was always something that needed to be done, and that instilled a strong work ethic in Long.
“It was a big thing in our family. You work. You support yourself, you support your family, and you do what you can to support your community,’” he said.
That work ethic has served the 36-year-old well as the new Dean of Human Services and Public Safety at Durham Technical Community College.
