ABSTRACT
With the implementation of the institutional ethos, “WE Over Me,” President Michael Sorrell has proven that his unique leadership style is helping to revitalize Paul Quinn College while also instituting innovative and strategic developments for the small college’s continued progress and evolution (Conrad & Gasman, 2015). 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. Today, the college boasts accolades that praise everything from its student leadership style to its institutional motto. Many of Paul Quinn College’s accomplishments are the result of its faculty, students, and the dynamic leadership of President Michael Sorrell. Since 2007, under the presidency of Sorrell, Paul Quinn College has grown substantially. His leadership has focused on entrepreneurship, empowerment, and student engagement.
