Paul Quinn College is a private, faith-based, four-year, liberal arts-inspired college that was founded on April 4, 1872 by a group of African Methodist Episcopal Church preachers in Austin, Texas. The school’s original purpose was to educate freed slaves and their offspring. Our mission is to provide a quality, faith-based education that addresses the academic, social, and Christian development of students. It is one of the nation’s consortium of Historically Black Colleges and Universities as well as the nation's first urban Work College in the Work College consortium. Members of the College’s student body, alumni, faculty and staff, called Quinnites, embrace the institutional ethos of “WE over Me” and are dedicated to honouring the “Four Ls of Quinnite Leadership,” which are: Leave places better than you found them; Lead from wherever you are; Live a life that matters; and Love something greater than yourself.

What a day for Paul Quinn! Sam's Club showed up in a big way for us with a $10k grant. 🔥
Quinnites brought the energy to match the moment, with a soloist from choir and PQC Cheer brought the hype right alongside them. It's fitting that a partnership like this landed right in our Plano community, home to PQC Plano.
Thank you to store manager Mimi and Sam's Club Plano for investing in the Quinnite Nation. Stay tuned for more from this blooming partnership! 👀

Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders wasn't the only home-field advantage at AT&T Stadium. 👀 Fans in the stands were also eating produce grown on Paul Quinn's WE Over Me Farm, a working farm built on what used to be our football field!
Since 2009, Legends Hospitality at AT&T Stadium has bought from the Farm to stock Dallas Cowboys concessions, keeping fans fed with favorites like the Awesome Plant-Based Burger and Buffalo Chick'n Nachos - while helping fight diabetes and heart disease in our community. 💜

The Quinnite Nation showed up yesterday for North Texas Giving Day! 💜
Thank you to everyone who gave today and helped cover tuition and the everyday costs Paul Quinn students carry while they lead, serve, and work toward their degrees. That's what it looks like to leave a place better than you found it, together.
We are so proud of this community! 🐯

Today is the day! 🎊
Every Quinnite on this campus is working toward loving something greater than themselves, whether that's a degree they'll use to support their family or a community they plan to serve.
Every gift given today covers tuition and the everyday costs that keep that work going. Give now, and share the link with someone who cares about Paul Quinn as much as you do! 💜 bit.ly/3pFv9ev

North Texas Giving Day is tomorrow! 💜
Quinnites already leave every room better than they found it, in classrooms, in dorms, in the communities they grew up in. Tomorrow, our community can do the same for Paul Quinn: give whatever you can to help cover tuition, books, and the costs that let students keep doing that work.

“Paul Quinn College is committed to innovation that creates real opportunities for our students.” - President Dr. Michael J. Sorrell
Paul Quinn is partnering with The DEC Network , a North Texas nonprofit focused on entrepreneurship and small business growth, to open a satellite office right here on campus, giving Quinnite entrepreneurs direct access to mentorship and support!
The partnership also brings our first podcast studio, run by Casting Within, a student-led media venture built inside the Every Quinnite is an Entrepreneur program.
Students there manage production, book guests, and handle the business side of a real media operation, all while still in school! We’re excited to see what the future holds for this partnership. 🐯🎙️
