Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and having grown up in Henderson, former Durham Tech student Amanda Blanchard knew art was what she wanted to do from age 6.
Now she is sharing her talents in her first solo show.
"In January of this year, the student running the Brown Gallery [in the Bryan Center] at Duke University contacted me about doing a solo exhibit during October,” she said. “It would be my first show ever. I haven’t even had a group showing and now it’s just me in a monthlong exhibit.”
Durham Tech instructor Bridget Bell began writing her debut poetry collection, “All That We Ask of You Is to Always Be Happy,” during a difficult period in her life.
“I started the book a couple of months after my first child, my daughter, was born. She is 10 now. I struggled pretty badly with postpartum depression and anxiety,” Bell said. “I wrote to get through.”
Durham Tech projects approved for 2022 bond referendum for new healthcare and life sciences buildings
The Durham County Board of Commissioners approved a 2022-23 fiscal year budget Monday night that provides scholarship support for Durham Tech students entering a robust labor market and reinforces the College’s plans to build strong life sciences career pathways to local industries.
The budget provides $9,743,434 for Durham Technical Community College, an increase of $789,268 allotted since last year’s budget cycle.
The budget also includes a three-year commitment to extended the College’s new 911 Academy, which trains needed emergency telecommunicators for the region’s 911 centers.
In a statement Monday night, Durham Tech President J.B. Buxton lauded the Board and County Manager Kimberly Sowell for their support and commitment to Durham Tech and education opportunities for the community.
"I want to thank the Durham County Commissioners and the County Manager and her staff for their work on the 2022–23 budget and the 2022 Bond Referendum. This is what public leadership looks like. The commissioners' investments provide needed scholarships and pathways to jobs for Durham residents, economic development support for this community, and a pipeline of diverse talent for the region's employers," Buxton said.
