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.

Made possible by the bequest of the late Beulah T. Latta, the Paralegal Technology program has received a transformational gift that includes scholarships for students, a law simulation lab, and funding to upfit classroom space into a mock courtroom. This represents the single largest commitment the program has received in its history. The scholarships will enable the program to actively recruit new students and support current students. The addition of a law simulation lab and a mock courtroom elevates the program’s commitment and ability to deliver experiential learning experiences.
