Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees
What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the
residents of Orange County?
Durham Technical Community College is a vital source of education to many individuals seeking
to improve their lifestyles, as well as their economic status within Orange County. Due to the
population growth we are seeing in this area; it is imperative DTCC be on the forefront to provide
the necessary tools for our residents to be competitive in the 21st century job market.
One of the major improvements DTCC can implement now and in the future is a science and
mathematics program. Because we live in the shadow of the UNC Hospital, there is a high
demand in the field of clinical research, medical, scientific and mathematical engineering. If we
continue to grow both economically and socially in this area, and attract new businesses that
highlight these particular career, we must be able to readily produce the individuals who can
meet the demand, rather than recruit others from around the world to fulfill these perspective
positions.
Orange County residents deserve the opportunity to take advantage of the high income jobs
offered in their area. DTCC can provide the residents here that opportunity through the benefits
of a quality education. DTCC needs to improve its recruitment process by aggressively offering
courses that target our area and its desire and need to be relevant. With DTCC's commitment
to Orange County residents, we can readily be one of the most influential places to reside in
North Carolina.
Thank you for the opportunity to voice my interest with DTCC and the privilege to serve my
community of Orange County with pride and respect.
Respectfully Submitted,

What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the
residents of Orange County?
I have lived in Orange County for 22 years and have worked in the field of education the entire
time. I spend a great deal of my time in Hillsborough. I frequent businesses and the library. I
rarely miss a town festival. I am in Chapel Hill at least once a week. While I am quite familiar
with Alamance Community College, the Durham campus of Durham Technical Community
College and the local universities, I have minimum knowledge of the Orange County campus of
DTCC. I realize the campus was only opened in 2008, but I have not come across information
about the Orange County campus of DTCC, other than what I've actively sought out through the
website and social media. From what I've found through my research, the college provides many
excellent opportunities for both formal and informal education. So, one way that DTCC could
better serve the residents of Orange County is to help the residents of Orange County become
more aware of the diverse ways in which the campus serves Orange County.
