The new Durham Tech Promise program is making college more affordable – reducing tuition by as much as half for eligible students.

Long before he was investigating crime scenes with his K9, Renzo, Justin Long was a young kid growing up on his family farm in Roxboro with herds of cattle, vegetable rows, and a bell that rang for dinner.
His family called it Bloomsdale – 120 acres of farmland where three generations lived. There were six houses on the farm, all built by Long family hands. His parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all grew up within walking distance of each other.
Days off didn’t exist. There was always something that needed to be done, and that instilled a strong work ethic in Long.
“It was a big thing in our family. You work. You support yourself, you support your family, and you do what you can to support your community,’” he said.
That work ethic has served the 36-year-old well as the new Dean of Human Services and Public Safety at Durham Technical Community College.
