When former Durham Technical Community College President Bill Ingram cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the Orange County Campus in May 2008, a new pathway to academic and career successes was created for Orange County residents, but it was a long road to get there.
Prior to the Orange County Campus, Durham Tech had offered credit and non-credit courses in more than 40 Orange County locations since 1999. Classes were taught in high schools, community centers, churches, the Orange County Skills Development Center, and several other locations throughout the county.
In the 1980s, Durham Technical Community College created one of the College's first video advertisements. At more than 12-minutes in length, the commercial highlights the various programs and professional trainings that were offered at the time.
Complete with '80s-era synthetic background music and vintage video transitions, the commercial is a snapshot of the need for promotion in a growing Durham and Triangle region.
Letitia Johnson-Arnold, coordinator for the Community Health Worker program at Durham Tech, was honored as the 2024 Triangle Heart Walk Live Fierce award recipient at the recent American Heart Association Heart Walk.
The award, presented by Vontier, honors individuals or organizations that “live fierce” for themselves, their loved ones and their community and that are catalysts for longer, healthier lives for people.

Since January, Durham Tech students and volunteers have been sewing, cutting, and tying plastic bags, fabric, and other materials to produce three different products for three different community needs.
These projects are running the gamut. Students are helping produce port pillows for chemotherapy patients and blankets for children at area hospitals and shelters and were part of creating sleeping mats for Durham’s homeless population.
The port pillows and blankets are still in progress. The sleeping mats have been completed and delivered.
