It was October 2014 when Durham Tech hosted three Latino Student Success Focus groups to solicit input from the Latino student population. The sessions resulted in a group of five students forming a new student club called Cambiando Caminos, or Changing Paths.
The club was officially formed in January 2015 and has been on a mission to strengthen the identity and presence of Latino students at Durham Tech while providing a sense of place and belonging.
Former club president, Bryan Rodriguez, joined Cambiando Caminos in 2018 as a new student.
“As a Hispanic, I felt welcomed with open arms and in an environment that allowed me to explore the world around me and to be happy about being a Hispanic,” he said. “This club I feel like is a home for me and something that everyone deserves to experience. At the end of the day Cambiando Caminos is a club that changed me into being a better man.”

In 2020, Durham Tech became one of the first community colleges in North Carolina to establish an Office of Equity and Inclusion, which is committed to valuing the unique experiences of individuals, the diversity of the community, and equitable outcomes for all students and employees.
Though the Office was established in 2020, the groundwork began in 2016 when College leadership began investing in reviewing and addressing specific inequities associated with lack of success for men of color.
Former President Dr. Bill Ingram recognized that current strategies were not sufficient or effective, so he proposed hiring someone that reports to the president, with greater authority and scope of duties to address issues systematically. Then-Senior Vice President Tom Jaynes, and members of the board of trustees, Gracie Johnson-Lopez and Tara Fikes, supported this strategy and Dr. Angela Davis was appointed to the position.
