HOW WE’RE LEADING THE WAY
For the past 10 years, our mission ensured that the student experience comes first at Durham College. But we’ve reached a tipping point. As we reflect on all we’ve accomplished and look closely at where we stand, it’s clear: We’re not just putting the student experience first. We’re reinventing it.
What’s happening on our campuses, across our communities and around the globe is a DC-grown and led transformation of the way we learn. The way we teach. The way we work, live and lead.
