October is Cybersecurity Month, and it began at Durham Tech with a lunch-and-learn with Susan Cropp of the FBI on “Biosecurity from a Law Enforcement Perspective.”
“Of course we bring in top-notch presenters,” said Scott Neal, Cybersecurity, Net and Support Program instructor. “Durham Tech aspires to be the best community -- dare I say best college in teaching IT. We are building a culture right now. We are growing a premier associate degree program. We employ instructors who are specialists in their fields, and we are completely online, so our program is accessible to anyone.”

Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and having grown up in Henderson, former Durham Tech student Amanda Blanchard knew art was what she wanted to do from age 6.
Now she is sharing her talents in her first solo show.
"In January of this year, the student running the Brown Gallery [in the Bryan Center] at Duke University contacted me about doing a solo exhibit during October,” she said. “It would be my first show ever. I haven’t even had a group showing and now it’s just me in a monthlong exhibit.”
Thank you for continuing to be the change in our students’ lives and in our community.

Scholarships are a critical part of Durham Technical Community College’s overall strategy for student success. Many of the earliest gifts to the Durham Tech Foundation were designated for a general scholarship fund, with named scholarship funds following soon after. The first endowed scholarship at Durham Tech was established in 1988 by O’Brien Atkins Associates, PA for students enrolled in the Architectural Drafting program. Since then, 91 scholarships have been created — split evenly between endowed and annual awards.
