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.”

Dulce Hernandez worked 15-hour shifts, six days per week at Chipotle while also attending Durham Tech – all to support her two children.
“Sometimes I’d be up crying at 3 a.m., after I got home from work because I knew I wasn’t going to get any sleep,” said Hernandez, 26. “But it was all worth it in the end. Everything you put in, you will get back.”
