Durham Tech Foundation

🌟Board Member Spotlight: Bill Stokes🌟

After retiring from a career in financial services with Morgan Stanley, Bill Stokes found a meaningful way to continue giving back through service on the Durham Tech Foundation Board. Encouraged by fellow board members and longtime community leaders Walter Newton, Kay Gresham, and his wife, Lucy Stokes, Bill joined the Board with a desire to support Durham Tech’s mission and students. He has especially enjoyed serving on the Foundation’s Finance Committee, where he has helped guide investment policy development and strengthen the Foundation’s stewardship practices.

For Bill, one of the most powerful reminders of Durham Tech’s impact came during this year’s Scholarship Breakfast:

“It has been deeply fulfilling to be involved with an organization like Durham Tech and its Foundation and to witness firsthand the impact Durham Tech has on our community. Our recent scholarship breakfast especially underscored the tremendous opportunities the college provides and the profound difference it makes in the lives of so many students in Durham.”

Thank you, Bill, for your leadership, expertise, and commitment to Durham Tech students. 💚

Durham Technical Community College

We’re proud to see construction underway on this important affordable housing initiative for our students and community. The Durham Tech Foundation was honored to help secure $620,000 in Community Project Funding for this initiative, made possible through the leadership of Congresswoman Valerie Foushee and awarded through U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

This project reflects what strong partnerships can achieve—expanding access to stable housing and supporting student success beyond the classroom.

[NEWS] Work has begun at 902 S. Briggs Ave. on the construction of a 124-unit affordable housing community through a unique partnership formed by Durham Tech, Mosaic Development Group and Banc of America Community Development Corporation.

The development will serve eligible Durham Tech students and their families, as well as members of the broader Durham community.
