Paul Quinn reintroduces itself with an expansion of new Buildings, new opportunities for students and community. President Michael Sorrell said, “Fifteen months ago, our worlds were shaken at their cores. It was a scary time. One that revealed a lot about all of us. Some people cowered in fear. Others hid behind the comfort of the status quo. The Quinnite Nation did neither. We planned. We built. We transformed.” Dr. Sorrell gave a tour of the first new buildings on campus in 40 years, new campus running trail, and shared how the school has re-imagined itself and innovated over the last 15 months. The preview for press was in advance of “The Reintroduction” community event held on Tuesday, June 15 from 4 pm to 9 pm. The event was open to the public and included a COVID vaccine clinic, campus tours, food trucks, Bishop 5 + 1 Reunion Revival, Pastor Denny D. Davis of St. John Church unleashed in Grand Prairie, gospel choir performance and performance by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
