Durham Technical Community College will serve as a regional community college teaching and learning center dedicated to training and developing instructors and improving student success.
In September 2021, The Belk Center at NC State, Achieving the Dream, and the North Carolina Student Success Center – three non-profit organizations dedicated to providing support and resources for community college leadership – launched the North Carolina Teaching & Learning Hubs.
The hubs will provide institutional support for faculty to develop evidence-based practices that are essential to student success and credential completion. Full-time and part-time faculty and staff educators will have the opportunity to participate in virtual, in-person, and hybrid workshops and seminars that lead to more equitable student outcomes.

When the television industry was booming in the 1970’s, Durham Technical Institute took advantage. In 1979, the College led the initiative of developing the North Carolina Consortium for Instructional Telecommunications (NCCIT).
President Phail Wynn, Jr. and Augusta Julian, former Durham Tech employee, developed the idea of offering telecourses throughout the North Carolina Community College system, which led to the development of the consortium.
This initiative allowed community colleges, technical colleges, and technical institutes to use technology to provide distance learning to adults in North Carolina.

His career began in RTP in 1984 as a test technician with Nortel Networks. After gaining decades of experience in customized training throughout North Carolina and Virginia, he is back home and ready to make a measurable impact in the Triangle.
