Statement from Durham Tech President J.B. Buxton on 2021 MacArthur Fellow recipient

"The Durham Tech community congratulates Ibrahim Cissé, a former Durham Tech student, on his recognition as a 2021 MacArthur Fellow. After starting at Durham Tech, Dr. Cissé went on to receive a BS at NC Central University and a PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His story is an example of the many success stories that result from the partnership between community colleges like Durham Tech and the state’s four-year universities. We are proud to have been part of Dr. Cisse’s educational journey and to continue to serve our community as the first step for many university-bound students." -- President J.B. Buxton
