Behind every great community college is a foundation on a mission – to provide students with the financial means to pursue their dreams, to upgrade classrooms with state-of-the-art technology and equipment, to improve campus infrastructure, and to fund initiatives that support tomorrow’s workforce.
For Durham Tech, that mission began in 1982.
In November of that year, Durham Tech President Dr. Phail Wynn, Jr., L.A. Veasey, Dr. Susan Payne, and George Newton saw the need for donations and established the Durham Technical Institute Foundation as the fundraising arm of the College.

Dr. Micara Lewis-Sessoms has led efforts in Work-Based Education at Durham Tech since 2007.
The idea behind Work-Based Education was to connect students with employers while enrolled at the College so they could gain invaluable work experience before graduating and ensure their chosen career path was a good fit for them.
“I want to have the impact of a connector of students to employers. That connection can change the trajectory of their whole lives. It can change their legacy,” she said. “I always tell students, ‘you’re about to embark on a 160-hour interview.’”
