60 for 60: Since first travel abroad trip in 2005, Durham Tech students have seen the world

In 2005, Durham Technical Community College offered its first travel abroad opportunity for students.

The group traveled to Santiago, Chile, to visit Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda’s home. Participants had the chance to take culture classes, Spanish classes, learn about the country’s geography and history.

Since then, students and faculty at the College have traveled to Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa on various trips.

Traveling abroad helps students obtain skills needed by working with people from different parts of the world, including building awareness and developing self-reliance.
