Paul Quinn College announced on Thursday that it would take the first step in realizing its vision of a national work-colleges network: opening a second campus, in Plano, Tex.

“We promised you that we were going to create a national network of urban work colleges. This is the first,” said Michael J. Sorrell, the college’s president, speaking at a news conference and gesturing at a screen behind him with the logo for “PQC Plano.”
Sorrell has been lauded throughout higher education for helping to bring the college back from the brink of closure. Sorrell said on Thursday that enrollment at Paul Quinn, in Dallas, had been steadily increasing for the last three to four years, making expansion necessary to meet the growing need.
