Paul Quinn College and Michael Sorrell are Recognized

Education Dive web site recently recognized Michael Sorrell, president of Paul Quinn College in Dallas, TX, as their President of the Year.  Reporter Hallie Busta identifies several recent initiatives at the college from a significant reduction in tuition, to official designation as a federal work college, and a recent large grant that will be used to expand Paul Quinn's urban work college program to fast-growing Plano, TX. 

Busta notes that Sorrell was recognized by Forbes earlier in 2018 as the only college president on the magazine's World's 50 Greatest Leaders list.  Forbes notes that enrollment has grown under Sorrell's leadership and that Paul Quinn is planning to expand his "new urban college model" to other cities.
