Community leaders from Duke Health, Novo Nordisk, Made in Durham, and the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce voiced strong support for the proposed Durham Tech bond referendum this fall, which would build a new Health Sciences Center, Life Sciences Training Center, a pedestrian connector over Lawson Street, and acquisition of property for future expansion of Main Campus.
The Durham County Board of Commissioners held a public hearing on July 12 to hear from the community regarding potential bond issues on the November 2022 ballot.
The $112.7 million referendum, if approved, would provide high-quality training hubs for major regional industries in healthcare and life sciences. With booming career opportunities in these sectors, Durham Tech is well-positioned to train local talent and provide a diverse workforce pipeline to area companies.

Five Durham Tech students are headed to North Carolina State University on full scholarships as part of this year’s prestigious Goodnight Scholars transfer class.
Katie Jordan, Caitlyn Frazier, Jesse Parmelee, Jorge Rivera-Lopez, and Susan Edelstein were notified last month that they were among the 51 Goodnight Scholars in the transfer class of 2025.
Acceptance into the Goodnight Scholars Program includes a scholarship of $22,000 per academic year, renewable for up to three years. Recipients were selected from 30 counties across North Carolina and participated in a rigorous selection process, including an extensive application and interview.
In recent years, Durham Tech has been a consistent home for Goodnight Scholars. Six graduates from 2017-21 were selected for the program. In 2022, the transfer class was expanded from 25 to 51, which provided even more Durham Tech recipients.

During the 1970’s, the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges and North Carolina Arts Council formed a Visiting Artist Program that allowed more than 300 artists to complete one or two-year residencies at colleges throughout the state.
This gave artists the opportunity to share their talents with the community through lectures, demonstrations, concerts, exhibits, and special programs. Artists were limited to a max of four years in the Visiting Artist Program and could participate at different institutions.
In 1976, the program came to then-Durham Technical Institute.
